Dylan's Look out kid!
Hyper-complex, progenitor multi mood epic song "Subterranean Homesick Blues, is my chosen-to-be the guide to make any son i ever produce into a man. First I thought of 'IF..' Rudyard Kipling's precise attitude to adopt towards 'being a man', but early realization occured that 'If..' was not only apolitical but also incomplete. Don't we realize that putrescence we know today was simply non-existent in that century world.
Perhaps if my son has gentic history non-conforming with Aliens i would like to teach him ways of this planet, and my chosen guide puts it so well..
"Ah get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance, learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift
Look out kid
They keep it all hid....."
It's not complex like Literature. Falls easy on the tongue enough to be rote by heart. Nothing like full life guide sort, just a handy reference point. It's like 'If.." was meant to make some Loui the King out of my little chubby baby... I just don't want him to grow up and out that way. Dylan's is the song we play to kids when they want to know what the coffee smells when you pay for it with perspiration. Plus that musical delight..he would already be appreciating art and music while listening to it.
Key Lyrics again
" Get sick, get well
Hang around an ink well
Ring bell, hard to tell
If anything is goin' to sell
Try hard, get barred
Get back, write Braille
Get jailed, jump bail Join the army, if you failed
Look out kid
You're gonna get hit
But users, cheaters
Six - time losers
Hang around the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin' for a new fool
Don't follow leaders
Watch the parkin' meters."
My friends say: "When I am a Parent you will be first against the wall/With your opinions which are of no consequence at all."
I say: "Everybody has an opinion. people make professions out of it. Most of it is white noise. It is not personal, OK? What liberates this Dylan guidebook from Kiplings imperial lesson is a sense of poetic and melodic humour - paranoid parents unwilling to raise android, The humanist things can be taught best with jokes - re, 'listen to this music piece first':if nothing else atleast it's funny!!:)."
