Haha -- I had an argument with a former Stylus colleague who insists that "Sun City" is better than WATW; he was beguiled by Arthur Baker and Hipster Quotient (nice moniker, that).

You know, the most obvious defence for this song is that it helped save the lives of a lot of starving people in Ethiopia, which is - well.... - not the worst thing a song can do, really...
Besides, it isn't all that bad as a song either - even though the lyrics are indefensible forever and ever.

Ugh. Absolutely without merit. Typically American. We lift the idea from Band And, and then blow it way out of proportion ("the day rock cried" my ass). Plus, it's a horrible, overwrought, lyrically meaningless piece of shit song. Fuck everyone involved.
It was true then and it's still true today.

As bad as it was, Dylan would hit lower lows as the decade wore on. I can't imagine anyone turning into a Dylan fan back then based on his "new" work.

xp That's not a bad track - had they dropped a couple of the worst songs and reinstated "New Danville Girl," that would've been a pretty good album IMHO. Also forgot the Traveling Wilburys, that's a fun album. But Knocked Out Loaded, the Hearts of Fire movie, nearly all of Down in the Groove and the live stuff with the Grateful Dead are pretty awful.
― birdistheword, Friday, 15 March 2024 01:53 (one week ago) link
(Yes, "Brownsville Girl" is a different version of "New Danville Girl," and "Maybe Someday" is kind of catchy, but I still wouldn't play Knocked Out Loaded again.)
