What Price You Have to Pay To Get Out Of / Going Through All These Things Twice

***

Monday morning finds you Stuck Inside of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again, but it’s all good as Bob Dylan is your equally trapped companion.

This audio is from a live 1987 Dylan performance at the Philadelphia JFK Stadium. The Grateful Dead was the backup band. The studio version of this song from Blonde on Blonde is not available on YouTube (copyright issues, I would guess), but I did a little audio enhancement to bring up the vocals on this live audio performance, and it’s a pretty worthy version in and of itself.

Positively Monday Morning

***

Sometimes love isn’t enough to get you up in the morning. Was there ever a more bitter song that made it onto mainstream radio? This Monday we get out of the cold bed kicked in the head by the sound of Mr. Warmth, Bob Dylan and Positively 4th Street.

Diamonds and Rust

Awakened by a call in the middle of night. Monday morning it’s forgotten. Maybe.

One of my favorite pieces of songwriting.
