Roco Posted February 5, 2007 CID Share Posted February 5, 2007 I just been listing to a old 1964 track by Bob Dylan "Times they are a changing " His lyrics back then never made much sense to me , but now with Global warming , Oil wars , and political unrest , maybe the guy had a point to make back then , Come gather 'round people Wherever you roam And admit that the waters Around you have grown And accept it that soon You'll be drenched to the bone. If your time to you Is worth savin' Then you better start swimmin' Or you'll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin'. Come writers and critics Who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide The chance won't come again And don't speak too soon For the wheel's still in spin And there's no tellin' who That it's namin'. For the loser now Will be later to win For the times they are a-changin'. Come senators, congressmen Please heed the call Don't stand in the doorway Don't block up the hall For he that gets hurt Will be he who has stalled There's a battle outside And it is ragin'. It'll soon shake your windows And rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin'. Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land And don't criticize What you can't understand Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command Your old road is Rapidly agin'. Please get out of the new one If you can't lend your hand For the times they are a-changin'. The line it is drawn The curse it is cast The slow one now Will later be fast As the present now Will later be past The order is Rapidly fadin'. And the first one now Will later be last For the times they are a-changin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roco Posted February 7, 2007 Author CID Share Posted February 7, 2007 Very good realization you have had. Thanks for the reminder Roco Maybe I was wrong, some things never change , this story melted the heart of this Iceman , Yeah and I got a few of them T-Shirts also , all part of life's rich tapestry I guess , ROME, Italy (AP) -- It could be humanity's oldest story of doomed love. Archaeologists have unearthed two skeletons from the Neolithic period locked in a tender embrace and buried outside Mantua, just 25 miles south of Verona, the romantic city where Shakespeare set the star-crossed tale of "Romeo and Juliet."

tommie gorman Posted February 8, 2007 CID Share Posted February 8, 2007 Events and styles always repeat themselves. Now how many times have Converse tennis shoes been in or out of style. Or Bell Bottoms, long or short hair, etc...? Nice song Roco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
