Belated Birthday Song

Yesterday was Bob Dylan's 72nd birthday.  This most influential of American musical artists has survived many of his contemporaries and is still, thankfully, on tour performing.  His recent work has been critically acclaimed as among the best of his remarkable career.  But, since we will always think of him as "forever young," we offer this birthday salute from an early album ("Another Side of Bob Dylan") from nearly 50 years ago.  You'll note the dated references (Cassius Clay, Barry Goldwater), but Dylan's humorous "talking blues" style is, to us, still fresh.  Enjoy "I Shall Be Free No. 10."
