What good am I if I’m like all the rest
If I just turn away, when I see how you’re dressed
If I shut myself off so I can’t hear you cry
What good am I?

What good am I if I know and don’t do
If I see and don’t say, if I look right through you
If I turn a deaf ear to the thunderin’ sky
What good am I?

This is really a wonderful “What Good Am I ?”

Hammersmith Odeon
London, England
4 February 1990

Bob Dylan seems to be very aware of his age these days, that he has fewer days ahead of him than behind him. He has often reflected on this, even when he was a young man, come to think of it.

I have collected some of his most profound musings on the bittersweet fact that time slips through our fingers. Some of my choices are obvious and some are not, I sometimes read thing into songs that others do not.

Please, tell us what should have been on the playlist in the comments section.
