Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Thursday Free Ad For Bob: Someday Baby

"I don't care what you do, I don't care what you say
I don't care where you go or how long you stay
Someday baby, you ain't gonna worry po' me any more

Well you take my money and you turn me out
You fill me up with nothin' but self doubt
Someday baby, you ain't gonna worry po' me anymore

When I was young, driving was my crave
You drive me so hard, almost to the grave
Someday baby, you ain't gonna worry po' me anymore

I'm so hard pressed, my mind tied up in knots
I keep recycling the same old thoughts
Someday baby you ain't gonna worry po' me anymore

So many good things in life that I overlooked
I don't know what to do now, you got me so hooked
Someday baby you ain't gonna worry po' me any more

Well, I don't want to brag, but I'm gonna ring your neck
When all else fails I'll make it a matter of self respect
Someday baby, you ain't gonna worry po' me any more

You can take your clothes put 'm in a sack
You goin' down the road, baby and you can't come back
Someday baby you ain't gonna worry po' me any more

I try to be friendly, I try to be kind
Now I'm gonna drive you from your home, just like I was driven from mine
Someday baby you ain't gonna worry po' me any more

Living this way ain't a natural thing to do
Why was I born to love you?
Someday baby, you ain't gonna worry po' me any more."

"Someday Baby," from Modern Times.  Someone has creatively put together a video for the song using clips from the 2006 iPod TV ad, an interview with 60 Minutes from 2004, 2002's Masked and Anonymous, Dylan's 2001 interviews from 2005's No Direction Home, bits and pieces from the 1966 tour, as well as a shot or two from 1965.  See below.

I played with Levon Helm for a few years with "Levon and the Allstars" back in the late 80's and early 90's. We used to play at the Lone Star Cafe in NYC a lot and Dylan sat in with us a couple of times. Levon introduced me to him and he didn't even acknowledge me. LOL! We played up in Halifax and I met a girl who had been Dylan's gal friday for a spell until she couldn't stand it anymore. She had some stories!

One of the most interesting experiences I had with Levon was a gig at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ, when Bruce Sprinsteen joined the band onstage (Max Weinberg was in the band at the time). This was at the time when Bruce was at the height of his popularity. The stage was only a couple of feet off the ground and maybe 30' wide and 10-12' deep. The place was mobbed and the security guards were struggling to keep the crowd from rushing the stage. I was two feet to the left of Bruce and looking right into the eyes of the absolutely crazed countenances of the mob. With nothing but a few feet between our backs and a brick wall we were really scared for our safety. I've never seen a display of collective madness like that.

You have some stories. You should write 'em down.

I'm too lazy and am a "two fingered tongue between the teeth" typist, but if you haven't already read it Levon's autobiography "This Wheel's On Fire" is a great read. I highly recommend it. Talk about some stories! Man we had some big fun in that band....

"You ain't gonna worry," sure, but "don't worry" is a little more generous and classic than dylan's take:

Errata:

Some months ago I made some remarks about Bob Dylan and his anti war position that were ( nothing like homework) wrong.

It appears he went out of his way to avoid getting involved in that entire movement. The more I read about those efforts the greater my appreciation for what he eschewed and what it might have cost him. Fortunately his gifts to the world of music transcended any fur balls that did develop among some of his contemporaries.

I believe ammonia capsules are available in the lobby for those in need.

Praise the Lord! Habu done seed da light!
Haha. Good for you, Habu. Dylan is, as he says, "just a song and dance man."

Went to Levons house at Woodstock in November for the Midnight Ramble. My cousin works there and he got me and my wife guest passes for my birthday. He reserved seats right up front ( my foot could touch Levons drum set ). I was sitting next to Larry Campbells mom. What a night. I recommend it to all. Also, get a hold of Levons new CD Dirt Farmer. Best collection of Traditional American music I've heard in years.

I don't want to invade your privacy Paul, but what instrument did you play with the All-Stars?
#7 sean on 2008-02-01 01:19 (Reply)
I play guitar and sax. Next time you see him tell him Paul from Cali says hello. Mention that I played those two instruments in the "Doom Brothers" with him, Stan Szelest (sp?), and Jim Wieder and he'll remember me. I keep my last name off the internet to keep the moonbats I work with out here from finding out I'm an evil conservative.

BD's right Paul, you should write this stuff down. I have been a fan of the Band since the 60's. Seen them in concert whenever I could. Was at the Rock of Ages concert- best concert I was ever at. After Robbie left, I went to see them at the Chance in Poughkeepsie whenever I could. They were playing with the Cate Brothers at that time. Unfortunately I never saw Levon and the RCO All Stars. Your right about Levons book. It provides great insight to the Band and Levon's life and times. Nice meeting you Paul. Hope you still play music.
