She switches toothpaste, which makes her teeth very bright...when she smiled, a light reflects off her tooth. Well, that did the trick. In the final sequence she is dropped off at home by one of the cute boys and as she enters her house she turns towards the boy (and camera) and says, "See you in English." then smiles the Ultra Brite smile. <br /><br />Bob Dylan was a very observant individual - as are all those who comment on society through their art. <br /><br />We were both watching the same commercials...so I had that going for me.Charlie Curriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770483116956256534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-82051608717101012332017-03-14T19:13:56.221-05:002017-03-14T19:13:56.221-05:00Roy Lofquist said...

But the words "in English" want so much to serve up translations. How do you say "okay, see you" in English?

Afte...Saw Dylan at the Hollywood Bowl, Sep 3, 1965. Afterwards, we went to a club in Hollywood, where I started talking to three young ladies who had also been at the concert. They said they knew where the after concert party was being held. They had tried to get in, but were stopped by a security guard with a list of invited attendees. I told them I could get us in if they took me along - back then I had a lot of what my father called moxie. <br /><br />So we went to this house in the Hollywood hills, located up a narrow side street, and there indeed was a lone security guard at the gate - gate, as in garden gate, not the kind of gate you'd see now - with his clipboard and list of names. I walked up to him, full of moxie, and said I was invited. He asked my name and I told him it was David Crosby - he had to be on the list, right? So as he was going the couple of pages of names, I was reading the list upside down...no David Crosby. Finally, at the bottom of the last page there were a dozen or so handwritten names, and I said, there, pointing to David Crosby's name. He said, ok, and I said these girls are with me. He said, ok. And, in we went.<br /><br />Sat for awhile in the kitchen at a banquet where Mr Dylan was ensconced at one end holding court. When I got up to go wonder around and mingle with the Hollywood crowed, he asked if I was leaving, and I said something about mingling and he said, ok, see you in English. You'll only understand his meaning if you were alive then and watching TV commercials. I was impressed. <br /><br />So, that's my Bob Dylan story.<br /><br />P.S. David Crosby did show up later...quite stoned.

This song means something to him. <br /><br />Back Pages is a classic and it elegantly explained why he had to abandon the artistic dead-end of writing protest songs. It was all "finger-pointing". <br /><br /><br />How it pertains to this day, in my opinion, is that the democrats are still stuck in 1964. Lots of single-minded finger-pointing, name calling, and "I am right about everything and you are wrong about everything".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-7340900295398209812017-03-14T12:55:44.422-05:002017-03-14T12:55:44.422-05:00jr565 said: "...

Dylan at least recognized he was a pompous idealistic idiot and renounced his former idealism, which was actually based on his own arrogance."<br /><br />The copyright for the song is 1964. I would guess - and this is only a guess on my part, and what do I know - that the assignation of President Kennedy may have played a part in the loss of his idealism. <br /><br />At this time, I had been listening to Dylan, to my parents chagrin, for three years. I don't know which displeased them the most, his voice or his harmonica.

I recommend them highly. Freak out the youngsters in your life - play them loud.<br /><br />In this one, at about 7:00 Axl pauses to take a drink out of the big red cup & you can hear him say "aahh".<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://youtu.be/GrSgD8zKXb0?t=6m48s" rel="nofollow">NOVEMBER RAIN - GUNS N ROSES LIVE IN LONDON 2012 HD</a> alan markushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08765437265476376917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-73507882496545777142017-03-14T11:44:19.016-05:002017-03-14T11:44:19.016-05:00They say that is the greatest song of political ap...They say that is the greatest song of political apostasy ever written.
