You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows…
This week’s Classic Tunes download of the week dials back to 1965, and what many rock music afficionados consider to be the best days of Bob Dylan’s career.
Subterranean Homesick Blues is certainly one of his most recognizable and characteristic hit songs, if not quite so iconic as Like a Rolling Stone. It has become all the more famous – even notorious – over the decades since its release, thanks to the amazing “cue cards” video that has inspired imitations, spoofs, and tributes by hundreds of video makers, both famous and insignificant.
If you don’t already know and own this great recording, the best way to get it today is in the Essential Bob Dylan collection. This set includes a good take on the 30 all-time most loved and important Dylan recordings, at a bargain price.

If you’re more interested in accurate context, then by all means go for the album this track appeared on originally: Bringing It All Back Home. That way you’ll be getting some amazing tracks not included in Essential, including the incredible Love Minus Zero / No Limit.
Now here, just for fun, is one of the more unusual responses to the Subterranean Homesick Blues video…
Johnny’s in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I’m on the pavement
Thinkin’ ’bout the governmentMan in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says, he’s got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid offLook out kid
It’s somethin’ you did
God knows when
But you’re doin’ it againBetter duck down the alley way
Lookin’ for a new friend
Man in the coon-skip cap, in the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills, you’ve only got tenMaggie comes fleet foot, face full of black soot
Talkin’ that the heat put, plants in the bed
But the phone’s tapped anywayMaggie says, that many say
They must bust in early May
Orders from the D.ALook out kid
Don’t matter what you did
Walk on your tip toes
Don’t try, don’t try no doseBetter stay away from those
Carry ’round a fire hose
Keep a clean nose, watch the plain clothes
To know which way the wind blowsGet sick, get well
Hang around a ink well
Ring a bell, hard to tell
It’s gonna tellTry hard, gettin’ barred
Get back, write Braille
Get in jail, jump bail
Join the army if you failedLook out kid
It’s somethin’ you did
God knows when
But you’re doin’ it againBetter duck down the alley way
Lookin’ for a new friend
Man in the coon-skip cap, in the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills, you only got tenThe man in a coon-skip cap, in the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills, you only got ten- Bob Dylan
Intresting in rock music in 1965. I will try Essential Bob Dylan collection.
Whoa! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It’s on a completely different subject but it has pretty much the same page layout and design. Excellent choice of colors!
