And Rolling Stone Magazine did mock it....because the river in question was too shallow for someone to drown....but she said it was "muddy water".
Its a great song, like a piece of Southern Gothic....Id like to think Dylan appreciated it....but....

Did they really? Over something like that? That seems like something they and one of their critics would do. That's like calling out U2 on Pride because Martin Luther King wasn't shot in the morning, but late afternoon/evening. Typical of Rolling Stone magazine.

I never thought Clothes Line Saga to be a parody, really. If you want to call it that, fine. The Basement Tapes has a few others like that, too; Teenage Prayer, See You Later, Allen Ginsburg.

Man thats amazing, many thanks Glam!

My pleasure, glad to turn anyone onto Danny & Dusty. Definitely "cow punk", you nailed it. I think the whole first album can be heard here:

And quite coincidentally, Danny & Dusty unequivocably fit the topic of this thread!

A band called October Project, that sadly lost their contract with Sony after 2 albums.

The Band & the Felice Brothers.

When I rediscovered Gentry a few years ago, I went on a research binge on the net...and that's one of the things I read. They made the comment during the time of is popularity.
RS Magazine is full of shit. They wouldn't dare make a snarky comment about a U2 song. But they would make a snarky comment about a song that received mainstream popularity in the 60s, just to be a bitch...Wenner picked and choosed who to anoint, or starfuck....[[/b]i]but that's another thread....which I may start.[/i]

As for Dylan, he would never comment on the motivations of individual songs. He gets off on being cryptic....but it is hard to ignore the fundamental structure of "Clothes Line"....its nonsensical and Dylan would never do something like that without intent.

And Glam,
I didn't take your comments to be disparaging at all. Its all discussion and if you can convince me that Dylan didn't mock "Ode"....I'd love you if you could.
