Bob Dylan Song Becomes Children’s Book
Now you see this one-eyed midget
Shouting the word “NOW”
And you say, “For what reason?”
And he says, “How?”
And you say, “What does this mean?”
And he screams back, “You’re a cow!”
“Give me some milk or else go home!”
Guaranteed to blow young minds.
Apropos of little, here’s Rod Stewart’s “Forever Young,” which I always hear when I try to think of Dylan’s number, thanks to a childhood exposure to old-school VH1.
Personally, a children’s book based on this ditty would hold more sentimental value. Hell, I’d be happy showing my future spawn still photos of this rooster-haired man yelling at some red-headed stepchild in the back of a pick-up. “This is what America was like when I was a kid.”
