The reference is to attempting to vampirize the Mozart vortex? Yes...he may be hinting at that...he loves to tease, as you probably already know...

Not sure if this has been pointed out on this thread, but the photograph on Zimmy's MMF release is the same one from the Warren Report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Schwartz Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Obama on Dylan: One of them listens... President Obama on Bob Dylan "Here's what I love about Dylan: He was exactly as you'd expect he would be. He wouldn't come to the rehearsal; usually, all these guys are practicing before the set in the evening. He didn't want to take a picture with me; usually all the talent is dying to take a picture with me and Michelle before the show, but he didn't show up to that. He came in and played 'The Times They Are A-Changin'' A beautiful rendition. The guy is so steeped in this stuff that he can just come up with some new arrangement, and the song sounds completely different. Finishes the song, steps off the stage I'm sitting right in the front row comes up, shakes my hand, sort of tips his head, gives me just a little grin, and then leaves. And that was it then he left. That was our only interaction with him. And I thought: That's how you want Bob Dylan, right? You don't want him to be all cheesin' and grinnin' with you. You want him to be a little skeptical about the whole enterprise. So that was a real treat." 895895 128 Comments Like Comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the privilege to meet then Senator Obama and Michelle the night they went over the top in delegates at the Xcel Center in St. Paul. Very handsome people, and he does have a 1000-watt smile...

Speaking of smiles, I've rarely seen such a smile on Bob Dylan's face. He seems genuinely delighted to greet the Obama's at his concert (above.) This reminds me of a YouTube video I watched last November, where Obama makes a surprise call to a show two young black guys are doing about songs in Obama's recent memoir-- they're listening to Bob Dylan's song, The Times They Are A Changing.

Chuck Schwartz Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 MMF is on the CD called My Rough and Rowdy Ways, which is also the title of a song written by Jimmy Reed and Elsie McWilliams,, For years and years I've rambled I drank my wine and gambled But then one day I thought I'd settle down I met a sweet little lady And she told me that she'd be my baby We build a cottage in the old hometown I can't forget my good old rambling days Them old freight trains keep calling me always I may be rough, may be wild May act tough but it's just my style 'Cause I can't forget my good old rough and rowdy ways Sometimes when I meet a bounder Who knew me when I was a rounder He grabs my hand and he'll say, "Boy, have a drink" We go down to the poolroom Get in the gang and then soon It's broad daylight and I ain't had a wink I can't forget my good old rambling days Them old freight trains keep calling me always May be rough, may be wild May act tough but it's just my style 'Cause I can't forget my good old rough and rowdy ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, in the blues tradition, Woody is quoting Jimmy Reed and Dylan is quoting Woody...all good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
