Lyrics:
Johnny's in the basement, mixin' up the medicine
I'm on the pavement, thinkin' about the government
The man in a trench coat, badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough, wants to get it paid off
Look out kid, it's somethin' you did
God knows when, but you're doin' it again
You better duck down the alleyway, looking for a new friend
The man in the coon-skin cap in a pig pen
Wants 11 dollar bills – you only got 10

He invented the "Official lyrics" videos

I have one of those actual cards he holds up. My dad and his friend were there at the recording of this when my dad worked as a black cab driver in London. He picked up one, his friend picked up a few, apparently. My dad said I could have his about 20 yrs ago. Still got it, now in a frame! Nice to see Nobel Prizes being awarded to people who wouldn't have stood a chance years ago!

No matter how drunk I was in college, I could sing every word of this and not miss a beat.

My dad was born in 1950, he passed away when I was 16, back in 2018. He was a HUGE bob Dylan fan. He and I used to listen to his albums in the car. There was this one song that I loved as a kid, made my dad play on repeat, but I never knew the name! This is the song! I've been searching for years and I finally found it! Thank you YouTube, I am eternally grateful ❤

" 20 years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift" Bob Dylan is a Prophet
-
"You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows!" One of my favorite quotes.
-
People seriously underestimate this song. Nothing absolutely NOTHING else sounded like this back in 1965. Not only is he using Electric guitar to sing folk music, not only is he protesting in his lyrics, not only is he inventing the music video but he's also singing talking blues (aka Rhythm and Poetry) (aka Rap) he's inventing rapping as we know it. In 1965!
-
This video continues to blow my mind. Such a powerful and strong lyric set put against a REALLY awkward looking young Bob looking around for affirmation occasionally that it's going well. One of my favorite music videos of all time.
-
Love him or hate him, he's speaking straight facts here.
-
That, "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows." has always been my favourite line. Clever, lyrically.
-
Johnny's in the basement mixin' up the medicine are the greatest first lyrics of a song ever. Dylan is perfection.
-
The time when Bob Dylan was the coolest person on the planet
-
This largely credited for being the world’s first music video and what a great music video too.
-
After all these years I just realized that's Allen Ginsberg in the background.
-
"Lookout kid! It's something you did. God knows when but you're doin' it again" is a timeless observation.
-
Oh, how innocent he looks. And, the media insisted upon branding him with any negatives they could think of. A true musical icon who will live forever in the hearts of people who love and appreciate originality in music.
-
That is so fucking cool you need a new adjective to describe cool
-
One of the coolest rock n roll songs of all time.
-
Bro dropped bars before people knew what “dropping bars” meant
-
April 14 2024 - I hadn't seen this in, literally, decades - was it the first music video I ever saw? I think so
