edna Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 I don't think so... but if you know the song you can post the answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_M Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Can't think of one and searching for one is coming up blank. I know you said it's a song about this man but I have to ask to be sure, is it definitely a song about this man or is it a song that only mentions this man? That makes a big difference.

Farin Posted August 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 I don't think so... but if you know the song you can post the answer my point were the rules of this thread Rules stay the same, just two notes: 1. Keep it music related (Name a Song, Artist, Album). 2. This isn't Jeopardy. Keep your 'questions' general enough so that there's more than one correct answer.

Sorry, Edna. I wasn't doubting that there could be a song out there like that but since I never heard the song and an internet search brought up absolutely nothing, I thought maybe you stated it wrong. I just searched again after reading your post and the song did come up this time. I guess I typed in a wrong word somewhere for nothing to come up the first time. Gotta start doing my searching when I'm wide awake instead of falling asleep. I've listened to many Bob Dylan songs but only owned the greatest hits albums and Slow Train Coming CD. I'll have to look on youtube for it and listen to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 It's the last song on the A-side od "Highway 61 revisited"... it's a quite well-known song, that's why I asked about it It's not on youtube, I think, as CBS (or Sony) has removed all of Dylan's videos... you have it here: "Ballad Of A Thin Man" - Dylan Hope you can listen...

Otokichi Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 (edited) Name a song about a man who plays his own instrument. Sounds like something Craig Ferguson did before he took up the harmonica! "Leader of the Band" - Dan Fogelberg ("...his blood runs through my instrument...") Name a song about teaching a cad a lesson...that ends with dumping him in the harbor for the sharks! (Hint: A Buena Vista Social Club singer.)
