I'm not hugely invested here it's quite OK I object to Dylan in general and this seemed like a fun puddle to jump in

haha half my kiplings were my gran's -- so they come from before the 30s and still have his swastika design on the spine (he stopped using it when the nazis started, he detested germans)
i kinda don't ever read those ones on the bus

How about this song from a lovelorn wittgensteinian? A better lyric than anything Dylan ever wrote!
― Wigable Planet Waves (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 15 October 2016 19:43 (nine years ago)
this edition has the swastika on the inside. so that it's a secret between you and kip.

probably doesn't belong on this thread but i have long been of the opinion that pynchon's songs HAVE TUNES -- sometimes i think he writes the words with an extant melody in mind (in the genre the song in question is meant to be) and sometime i wonder if he writes some of the melodies himself
(on ukulele and kazoo obv)

i have never been able to supply the tunes (or any tunes) but i feel tp is actually strongly encouraging us to do so

His songs are one of the most consistently dismaying things about his work.
― the pinefox, Saturday, 15 October 2016 20:19 (nine years ago)
lol whatever the opposite of consistently dismaying is, there we find the pinefox's stubborn resistance to the charms of pynchon
― mark s, Saturday, 15 October 2016 20:22 (nine years ago)
Teh pinefox otm. They usually remind me of that one scene in The Prisoner in which they sing "Dry Bones."
― Wigable Planet Waves (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 15 October 2016 20:24 (nine years ago)
perhaps they are like dylan in this respect and we need to hear someone singing them to grasp why they are great litereture

Well I don't know about you lot but I'm still working on it. Finding translations of the pre-WWII Nordic poets is a bit of a challenge.
