My 1965 Soundtrack!
“And Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot fighting in the captain’s tower, while calypso singers laugh at them and fishermen hold flowers. Between the windows of the sea where lovely mermaids flow, and nobody has to think too much about Desolation Row.”
~Bob Dylan
With retirement beginning on May 4, I’m doing my best to go out on a high, ahem, “note”.
I’m putting together medleys of the songs that made up the soundtrack of MY teenage years, and with 1964 in the rear view mirror, it’s time to see what I was listening to in 1965.
I was still more (pardon the pun) “in tune” with British artists, but if a certain singer/songwriter had escaped my attention in 1963 and 64, he certainly didn’t in 1965.
I was suddenly enthralled with the music of Bob Dylan and remain so today. 55 years after its release, the song epic masterpiece that ends this medley is one of the 10 songs I would want require if I was stranded on an island.
