BOB DYLAN : JUST LIKE A WOMAN [THE CONCERT FOR BANGLADESH, 1971]

Για αυτό το τραγούδι ο Dylan έχει κατηγορηθεί από απομνημονεύτων για τα εγκλήματα του “σεξισμού” και του “μισογυνισμού” . Γράφτηκε την χρονιά του υποτιθέμενου βιασμού, και κυκλοφόρησε με το άλμπουμ Blonde On Blonde το 1966.
Διαλέγω την βερσιόν από το
Concert For Bangladesh – μαζί με τους George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Leon Russell.

Because of this song,
Dylan had been accused, ages ago of “sexism”
and “misogyny”. It was written in the year the alleged rape took place, and was released on the album Blonde On Blonde, in 1966.
I choose Dylan’s version from
The Concert For Bangladesh – accompanied by George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Leon Russell.

Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand inside the rain
Everybody knows that baby’s got new clothes
But lately I see her ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls
She takes just like a woman
Yes, she does, she makes love just like a woman
Yes, she does, and she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl
Queen Mary, she’s my friend
Yes, I believe I’ll go see her again
Nobody has to guess that baby can’t be blessed
‘Til she finally sees that she’s like all the rest
With her fog, her amphetamine, and her pearls
She takes just like a woman
Yes, she makes love just like a woman
Yes, she does, and she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl
It was raining from the first
And I was dying there of thirst
So I came in here
And your long-time curse hurts
But what’s worse is this pain in here
I can’t stay in here
Ain’t it clear that I just can’t fit
Yes, I believe that it’s time for us to quit
But when we meet again, introduced as friends
Please don’t let on that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world
Ah, you fake just like a woman
Yes, you do, you make love just like a woman
Yes, you do, then you ache just like a woman
But you break just like a little girl

    Listening twice.

    Adore this song, and Dylan.
    LOL, Norm never liked Dylan. He said Dylan was a fake, because he grew up in suburban America, and wrote like he was an outsider.
    He appreciates music now, that he didn’t then. I get that!
    The guys N has over, jam on this and other Dylan songs.
    They are so good! All pros, earning their $ with their craft…. Drums, Bass, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar… occasionally keyboards.
    I honestly wish you could hear them.

    I saw the movie of the Concert for Bangladesh when it was released in 1972 or 73. I was 14 or 15 years old at the time. I loved it.
