been thinking alot of my adventures with phil lesh this sep.
this song has always been "my song" my dads a big dylan fan and i can rmember listening to this wiht my dad countless times to and from camping trips he always made it clear that, to him at leased. i was his blue eyed son. destoned to see hear meet and go far beyond what he ever could. me and my dad have a ruff relationship. but this song makes me remember the peacful times.
this song is rich one. full of food for yer head no matter who you be 
Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son? Oh, where have you been, my darling young one? I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains, I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways, I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests, I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans, I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard, And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard, And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son? Oh, what did you see, my darling young one? I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it, I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin', I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin', I saw a white ladder all covered with water, I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken, I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children, And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son? And what did you hear, my darling young one? I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin', Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world, Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin', Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin', Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin', Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter, Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley, And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son? Who did you meet, my darling young one? I met a young child beside a dead pony, I met a white man who walked a black dog, I met a young woman whose body was burning, I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow, I met one man who was wounded in love, I met another man who was wounded with hatred, And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son? Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one? I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin', I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest, Where the people are many and their hands are all empty, Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters, Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison, Where the executioner's face is always well hidden, Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten, Where black is the color, where none is the number, And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it, And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it, Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin', But I'll know my song well before I start singin', And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

my best friend and i love(d) dylan. Countless days spent driving in the bonneville with joints of schwag and bootlegs of dylan blasting. When my friend passed away another good friend of mine played some of dylans new stuff as they were burying.
As much as i love dylan it takes a lot of strength to listen to any of his songs now without crying. Hard rain is definitely an awesome tune tho.

yeah it can be a tear jerker for sure
it also is full of potent comentary about all sorts of stuff.
i remember at the greek theater right infront of me the whole show was a young couple. looked about my age. 19-20 they had ther new born at the show. he looked about 4 months old. to my surprise the kid was digging on the music hard. despite the crazy amount of super funked out wooky lot hippys. his mom was showing him to all of them and i was so dismayed by some of the "kids" reactions. some people just dont get it they just consume consume consume no questions
its almost as if they never heard a note of the music itself  anyway the line "i saw a new born baby with wild wolfs all around it" really rang true at that moment at that show. lots of analitical tripping memories from that show
