ink we already saw this, but it plays into the argument about his singing... that he doesn't seem to care about the singing. When looking for video of him playing Blowin' in the Wind live, it also seems that almost every performance is different. There is a different cadence to the songs, sometimes its upbeat, sometimes real mellow and slow. Thats different than alot of other artists who try to recreate the album-version of their song every time they go out and play... Dylan was OK with inflecting a new meaning every time. I took a couple things away from that. Even though he is quoted in one of those articles we read that the lyrics shouldn't be seperated from the music because they are a package deal, the fact the music changes while he plays it elevates the meaning of the lyrics to me. Each time you hear the song you could garner a little something different, but the lyrics are constant.
