re: Anyone else not care about the meanings of songs?

This thread reminds me of how much my appreciation of Bob Dylan has changed over the years.

When I was in high school in the mid-late '70's, Dylan got a lot of play on the radio. I would always change the station because I hated his voice and didn't think much of his music.

Now, in my fifties, he is one of my favorite artists to listen to. I guess, having accumulated more life experiences, I can relate to his songs more and don't really notice that his singing is less than ideal.

I especially like the opening lines of Tangled up in Blue that high school me wouldn't have noticed.

Early one mornin' the sun was shinin'
I was layin' in bed
Wondrin' if she'd changed at all
If her hair was still red
