There was this exchange in another thread:
I'd think Doug probably does have the following Bob Dylan song in his collection, if for it's title alone. Given Dylan's singing is often totally and completely impossible to understand, I wonder whose version it is (it seems almost everyone's covered it one time or another) and what power it might provide (there would be several possibilities I think)...
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Quote:
given that many rock singers slur their words when singing, people often misunderstand exactly what was said/sung.
Quote:I take it there's not a whole lot of Dylan on Doug's personal jukebox?
You know, I hadn't really thought of this, but it probably is the case.
