Desire is the seventeenth studio album by Bob Dylan, released on January 5, 1976 by Columbia Records.
It is one of Dylan’s most collaborative efforts, featuring the same caravan of musicians as the acclaimed Rolling Thunder Revue tours the previous year (later documented on The Bootleg Series Vol. 5); many of the songs also featured backing vocals by Emmylou Harris and Ronee Blakley.
John Lynch is a blues singer/shouter from Cork City. John makes impromptu guest appearances on any given Monday at Charlies Bar, Union Quay, Cork.

Here is a brilliant piece of lyric, how many Dylan songs & what songs ? Use the comment section.
The song is called:
It’s Friday morning on Franklin Avenue
I’m just sitting here beating on my trumpet
up on the white veranda
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with youI’m hungry and I’m irritable
And I’m tired of this bag of tricks
Heard the last moan of a boxer, seen the massacre of the innocent
I guess I’ll be leaving tomorrow
If I have to beg, steal or borrowThe air is getting hotter
Every head is so dignified
Every moon is so sanctified
But it grieves my heart, love
If I see and don’t say, if I look right through youI don’t care about economy
But I ain’t a judge, you don’t have to be nice to me
Shake the dust off of your feet, don’t look back
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
Your loyalty is not to me, but to the stars above
Your days are numbered, so are mine
