And I'll know my song well before I start singing

Jeeez! What was the quote from the film Amadeus, "...so stiff they probably crap marble!" What a nightmare to sing a song with such complicated lyrics to a crowd like that! Poor Patti, but she picked it up again just fine. If your knees are trembling in front of that lot, there's something wrong with your sensibilities :laugh:

That's my byeline, by the way Jim :)

As its prophetic lyrics are realized in real time, singing this song can be cause enough for any performer to choke up and stumble.

This is also a murky swamp for Patti Smith to wade into ... only SHE knows the whole of it.
C'mon now: so Dylan was not there to accept his prize, and without explanation ?
The events of this past year 2016 are reason enough to be wary ...

I sure hope that my conclusions are wrong ... be well, Bob Dylan !
