For Bob
With the recent release of a new biopic film of his life, here is a tribute to Bob Dylan
~
they call you Judas
as your new words ring out
the times are changing
from protest to country pie
and tangled blue thunder, still
they call you Judas
chameleon vagabond prince,
shy harmonica poet drawls
the times are changing
positive forthright street seer
reckless evangelist clown listen
they call you Judas
with fractured tambourine
and ne’er a second thought
the times are changing
on this new morning
minstrel becomes messiah
they call you Judas and still
the times are changing

I think you have summed him and his work up, Graham, even if the Nobel Prize was a bit of a stretch.
