just had a sandwich
tonight, the moon was low and red above the road.
I nearly failed the only astronomy course I took in college. which was dumb, becuase it was an elective. but I did learn that the moon doesn’t rotate. it orbits the earth, but it doesn’t spin. so you always see the face of it.
from what I understand, there’s a bunch of different explanations into the meaning of Bob Dylan’s “visions of Johanna.”
everybody’s got an opinion. but I don’t know if Dylan himself ever bothered to explain it. shit. I wouldn’t.
now, little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously.
he brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously.
and when bringing her name up, he speaks of a farewell kiss to me.
he’s sure got a lot of gall to be so useless and all. muttering small talk at the wall, while I’m in the hall.
oh, how can I explain: it’s so hard to get on?
and these visions of Johanna, they kept me up past the dawn.
edit: it’s not that hard.
the moon rotates jackass. no wonder you failed the course.
Josh, you kill me
He’s right dude, the moon’s rotation is exactly in line with its orbit which is why we always see the same side of the moon.
These are the benefits of smoking a bowl and watching “The Universe” on the Discovery Channel.
time for…. update.
Johanna is my middle name.
I’m with you…ain’t nothing hard to understand about those lyrics.
