That sounds like a story! Especially involving Juarez. (And ketamine? Or other drugs?)

I think it was about heroin. It is easily his best song for me:

Just like Tom Thumb's Blues

Ah.

With me it was ketamine and happy times, not blues. And just before Juarez became the war zone.

I've never liked Dylan (sounds like a stereotype of himself), though I do generally like the idea of him and like some of his songs, covered by others, or with others. All Along The Watchtower is my simple fave.

Never did find out which Dylan video my ex produced to watch it.

Recently I discovered a folder of songs I'd forgotten about. I added them to a Wistful playlist for a down friend. Included were a couple tracks that surprisingly I couldn't find on YouTube. One was this specific version of Bob Dylan's 'Mama, You've Been On My Mind'.mp3). In this case I despise all the other versions and covers available on YouTube. I don't even recall when/where I came across that file, but it was on my Wistful playlist on my phone from ~2003-2011 or so. (Another lost old song in that playlist was on YouTube.)

Similarly, I don't like "Long Black Veil", except for the one and only version by Dave Matthews and Emmylou Harris, neither of which I'm a fan of (though I am a huge fan of Daniel Lanois). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tA3RKUHhN5A I like this version so much, a couple decades ago I wrote a screenplay treatment expanding on the standard's story (never shared). I'm just not into country or western - but I do really like Old West Ghost Town music.

Even though it has become a cliche, there is nothing like Hendrix' Watchtower. The first time I heard it induced a fugue state in me and a friend said something like, There, there, it happens to everybody.

Chuckle out loud.
