After Dylan's "Tom Thumb Blues"

Dylan, with that unmistakable "been there, done that" voice- it bears no honeyed sweetness just grit, honest sung oh, so true... And this ballad folksy, it's like a corrido in English it's harmonicad blues narrating misadventure- definitely a man's... Still, I identify all too well for my reminiscences of Juarez, tortured city live in this heart. While the music is a balm, like good tequila it soothes sorrow though only awhile... And the lyrics, like Joplin's meander sullied roads they commemorate the fearless, who shrink neither from life or death- who dare and shout gritos into the unforgiving wind.
