My friend's daughter, when she was much younger, used to sing the refrain from Blowin' in the Wind like this:
The ants are my friends.....
Could you die?
I'm the one in my family that gets made fun of for getting song words wrong, so I empathize. But since I got my very own iPod last summer for my birthday (inscribed "Life Begins at 50"), I can actually hear the words to songs. And though this is seven years after the song came out, I can't help calling attention to another Dylan work -- High Water.
It's a prophetic ballad of a flood, seems like.
