The Perfect Answer To Egomania

Unread postby PenultimateManStanding » Sun 07 May 2006, 02:23:01

This is for the few older folks around here who remember the 60s. Bob Dylan was the egomaniac and Donovan was the answer. If you ever saw the film about the Dylan tour of England in 1965 where the big deal was the meeting of Dylan and Donovan then you saw the meeting of these two creative fellows. It was pretty clear from that film that Dylan was a megalomaniac asshole and Donovan was a purer sprit. Just listen again to Jennifer Juniper to confirm.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'o')r Donovan was a flowery twit and Dylan was just an entertainer in a very competative business.
:lol: ( well, I actually like both of them, but Donovan was good vibes, Dylan bad vibes - in an interesting sort of way)

You make me laugh, pstarr, thanks, I can use it. But seriously, you really tried to get high off banana peels in your clueless adolescence? :shock: I knew some neighbor kids in my American Suburban Existence back around 1970 who did try it. They said they got a headache. I never bothered with it since I had already found pot by then. Here's the lyric for those of you who don't know:



Donovan - Mellow Yellow Lyrics

I'm just mad about Saffron

Saffron's mad about me

I'm just mad about Saffron

She's just mad about me



[Refrain:]

They call me mellow yellow

(Quite rightly)

They call me mellow yellow

(Quite rightly)

They call me mellow yellow



I'm just mad about Fourteen

Fourteen's mad about me

I'm just mad about Fourteen

She's just mad about me



[Refrain]



Born high forever to fly

Wind velocity nil

Wanna high forever to fly

If you want your cup our fill



[Refrain]



(So mellow, he's so yellow)



Electrical banana

Is gonna be a sudden craze

Electrical banana

Is bound to be the very next phase



They call it mellow yellow

(Quite rightly)

They call me mellow yellow

(Quite rightly)

They call me mellow yellow



Saffron - yeah

I'm just mad about her

I'm just mad about Saffron

She's just mad about me



[Refrain]



(Oh so yellow, oh so mellow)

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', ' ')These are the important questions of our time. :? So don't harsh my mellow . . . dude :-D
OK. These important questions of our time are sort of like all the incessant questions Dylan was always getting. Everybody assumed that he had all the "answers". These important questions of our time aren't going to get any answers either. Shit's gonna happen, end of story.
