That’s a great title for something? I think I’m stealing that from the added verse in Bob Dylan’s song Visions of Johanna.
Anyway, I’ve decided that it might be fun to use this page to not only announce new posts on our content pages, but also to spread good music. Unfortunately the only way I know how to do this is to look up the song on YouTube. So if you feel like it you can watch the video for the song or just hit play and then open up a new internet explorer/Mozilla page so that you can go about your digital business while listening to quality music. In this case, I couldn’t find an actual video so there’s nothing to watch; so just listen to Bob Dylan sing Visions of Johanna off the Blonde on Blonde album, which is one of the greatest albums ever made, and open another tab to check your email. Not a bad way to start the mourning eh? Oh and just for fun, listen to the lyrics and tell me what you think they mean because for my money there is no greater lyrical expression of how love works (I’ll explain in the comment section).
New posts:
Society page – Batman or Superman; Who is the Better Super Hero? (seriously, this one better generate some debate)
Sports page – John Calipari represents what’s wrong with college basketball
Politics page – Supreme Court Justices and Your Public and Private Self
I took a poetry class in college thinking it was an easy A but then found out that I suck at poetry. I never figure out the meaning correctly. I got a B in the class. So take all this with a grain of salt I suppose.
Ok, so Louise represents the chick you have. She’s pretty great and you’re happy. Then Johanna is the chick that you wish you had. So Johanna represents your fantasy chick and by comparison Louise seems less desirable. You know all the stuff about Louise, she’s familiar, she’s right there next to you.
Listen to the line: “Louise, she’s alright she’s just near”
But ultimately, as High Fidelity teaches us, you have to realize that Johanna is being overhyped in your mind. So Johanna is actually just a pedestrian as Louise.
Or at least that’s what I get out of it. Let me know what you think.
