BOB DYLAN AND NORMAN GREENBAUM: ‘JEWS IN THE JESUS CORNERS’
POP ARTIST #1 Norman Greenbaum {IRREVERANCE] An introduction of Jesus takes in tongue and cheek. Americana farmer felt of the Bible belt…tills and turns that could be straight out of shock value…yet a super Jesus boogie in song—- even if a non-believer. ‘’Who cares!’’ His hit song ‘’Spirit in the sky” which really rocks…and feels of that great feel of a once ‘’day and time’’ 1971 style. Those cool cat— sews and witticisms, in which there is so little of today.
SPIRIT IN THE SKY… a faze shifter hooks you in…as there is this magic of what is: ‘’Jews for Jesus’’ They surely exist! Psychodelia radical religious mayhem rock boogie! It hits the spot…as you can groove to it. Dance with your smoking in the airs and sunlight. Rolls of jays and boogaloo’s; but it’s not nonsense…as it has a certain charm that draws you in—–with a million other ears to the transistors of one way ‘’ear plugs’’. Lime green ways of the girly hot pants. Blue jean bell bottoms like an upside-down bottleneck—-rope you in! All the skies open in a rock’ n’ roll frenzy…as Norman, stretching his long hair like a unity of a whole circle, the generation long! And so long we did—- while muttonchop side burns pull you in at the right moment of the chord progression… synthesizers glory in the mesh…mold you too it, man! And what a groove it was. FIFTEEN- AND ONE-HALF MINUTES OF FAME.
POP ARTIST #2 BOB DYLAN [REVERANCE] An introduction to Dylan’s scribe and scrolls of the leans towards Jesus. ‘’A real one!’’ A taunt, terse and wholehearted reveal of ‘’SLOW TRAIN COMING’’
THE FIRST ABOUNDS OF THE SLOW TRAIN…Sad track often of the universal beefs with loved ones. Hop a train if only for awhile …as the next junction drops down the brake lever of the train…as off we go, regretfully…as if a visit with the big bad wolf of family. Stated only in speech of all the friends that gather. The kneebars smiles only in passing… and days gone by. Not real but not exactly fake either. Jester the postcard owns…their writes…and of favors. Their winnings of the church’s placements in time. Further to their self-image and self-made heaven.
NEXT IN THE BREAKTHROUGH…all good Christian rides of the railroad tracks of dawn’s coverings. New day compel one right too a past avenue… and all the pain of yesterdays—- and further slow-motion trip to such salvage centers. Bob serves up of a fine catch of melodies, and the rhythms of faith. 79’ in transition…transport to the heavenly journey on a slow steady train… and what will get you there.
Diamonds of Dogma, maybe not a truth that all might see…but still, Bob encapsulates such an inspired write up, which one can never deny! Everybody must serve someone—- a conductor of truth…conductor of the train. Tomorrow’s heights and measures may not implore all of you to faith…but I grant you this: Bob certainly makes a very convincing ride on these rails…as the slow train boards and whistles’ so creatively dandy!
