dylanfest original : bob dylan's funeral massacre pre-vision blues

[danieldesete]

hello all
I woke up the other morning with a few lines in my head.

I runned to the Mbr, and humed before I forget

(the wife asked why the coffee wasn't made )

originaly, it was a blues, now it's a... hum ? it's this :



BOB DYLAN'S FUNERAL MASSACRE PRE-VISION BLUES

We were walking around the hole
Mourning in the morning
All waiting, for Bobby's body

Bobby choose his grave quite high
To feel closer to the sky :
The whole of us had to climb a mountain

I heard a big noise behind
a million people came by
Bobby your fans were never early risers

It was hard going up that slope
two were tied with a rope :
W Bush and his father

Then the sun got high and strong
and the paths turned into mud
with all the sweat and the tears rolling

A priest started his speech
but he suffered from the heat
said nonsense like "he was only a hobo"
(but one more is gone)

In the middle of the day
Mexican trumpets started to play
I thought "they'll bring him in a helicopter"

The crowd was pushing more and more
I was gripping with my finger toes
When I fell in the grave the panic started

Some were fighting, some were running
some were praying all were shouting  
I had a vision of Bear Mountain  Picnic

Next day the paper said
Bob Dylan his not dead !
(twelve thousand killed at his funeral)
(plus one who died trying to count them)

Of course you felt accused
reading the morning news :
"Bob Dylan must pay for the killing !"

You said "I do feel sorry for my fans
And I wish I were dead sometimes
But yesterday I was giving a concert"

[Gritter]

Love it! Awesome story...well sung and played. This is great stuff!

LOL! Absolutely Absolute! There's just one flaw in you story: On the last concerts of Bob Dylan, he is both doing the concert AND he is dead!

[Ted]

You woke up with all that in your head? Mon deiu! I love the dreamlike rambling storyline.
