As I noted above, I thought there was a ton of depth, meaning and mystery in Ode to Billy Joe. Of course, growing up in the south may have colored my perception but regardless, I think Dylan missed the boat on this one.<br /><br />Oh, and I was a little kid too when this was released :-)Xanthorpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12607212106936329296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3910905215572756976.post-63587744227845043862009-11-10T12:12:10.678-06:002009-11-10T12:12:10.678-06:00I remember this song from when I was a little kid....I remember this song from when I was a little kid. And I remember seeing the moive on tv.<br /><br />That story about Bob Dylan just might be true. Another simiilar example: Apparently, his song "Idiot Wind" was an angry "ode" to his wife who was in the process of divorcing him during the time he wrote the song. If you listen closely to the lyrics, you'll hear how raging and vicious it is. I guess he didn't like his wife much at that time either.JM Reinboldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04193395612381968924noreply@blogger.com
