I'd love to write about some of these songs, perhaps I'll do it at some stage in the next few months. I guess writing about your favourite songs can be really indulgent. But I will write this much: the Dylan song above contains the best pop lyric ingrained in my consciousness. If you don't know the song, check out the lyrics through a google search, listen to it somehow (it's on the album Blood on the Tracks), and remember, it is a sad song...!!

Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast...
Thats for sure. I often wonder what happened to the last 20 years or so!! In my head I'm still 21! Not sure if thats a good thing or not...I'll tell you when I'm 80...if you're still blogging...
Top three pop lyrics according to a poll of music industry professionals and musicians released 17 April:
"One life, with each other sisters, brothers". (U2 ”One”)
"So you go, and you stand on your own, and you leave on your own", (Smiths "How Soon is Now?")
"I feel stupid and contagious, here we are now, entertain us" (Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit”)
Think I like yours better...
