I posted that song on Facebook under the subject "Covers That Are Better Than The Originals; An Occasional Series," and my Dylan fanatic friend commented "I like Dylan's better." WRONG!
Completely unrelated but worth noting: Today, 10/10, John Prine would have turned 80. Drink a toast (vodka an' ginger ale!) to one of the all-time greats.
Please don’t bury me Down in the cold cold ground No, I'd druther have 'em cut me up And pass me all around Throw my brain in a hurricane And the blind can have my eyes And the deaf can take both of my ears If they don't mind the size
That Fairport track may be my all time favorite Dylan cover.
ReplyDeleteThat was me. Sorry.😎

DeleteI think the Dylan original is one of his greatest tracks ever, but Fairport still rules.

ReplyDeleteDown in the cold cold ground
No, I'd druther have 'em cut me up
And pass me all around
Throw my brain in a hurricane
And the blind can have my eyes
And the deaf can take both of my ears
If they don't mind the size
RIP John
