LOONEY TOONS
Both “Memphis Blues Again,” and “Every Picture Tells A Story” say something that is dismally applicable to our new culture, if that is what we are building. There is no question that each of them belong to a very special set of songs, songs that comment on their audience and themselves with dignity and grace and fluidity, images that prance, music that dances and gurgles out of the record with power and strength.

Every Picture Tells A Story.. . Don’t It
DAVE MARSH
PART TWO
Well the rainman gave me two cures And then he said jump right in The one was Texas medicine The other was just railroad gin And like a fool I mixed ’em And it strangled up ray mind ,
Now people just get uglier And I have no sense of time O! Mama! Can this really be the end To be stuck inside of Mobile, with the Memphis Blues Again?
— Bob Dylan
Both “Memphis Blues Again,” and “Every Picture Tells A Story” say something that is dismally applicable to our new culture, if that is what we are building. There is no question that each of them belong to a very special set of songs, songs that comment on their audience and themselves with dignity and grace and fluidity, images that prance, music that dances and gurgles out of the record with power and strength. Yet, at the mornent, each of them says that it is we who are stuck in front of a mirror with the Memphis
Blues Again. “Every Picture Tells A Story.” Don’t it?
