With what forum member do you share the most in common with, poll edition!

hmm...ok Oh well...I'm most like Jojo...or me...most like me...

 

I just heard the song Visions of Johanna, by Bob Dylan, .... wow. It is one of my favorites now.


Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
We sit here stranded, though we're all doin' our best to deny it
And louise holds a handful of rain, temptin' you to defy it
Lights flicker from the opposite loft
In this room the heat pipes just cough
The country music station plays soft
But there's nothing, really nothing to turn off
Just louise and her lover so entwined
And these visions of johanna that conquer my mind

In the empty lot where the ladies play blindman's bluff with the key chain
And the all-night girls they whisper of escapades out on the "d" train
We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight
Ask himself if it's him or them that's really insane
Louise, she's all right, she's just near
She's delicate and seems like the mirror
But she just makes it all too concise and too clear
That johanna's not here
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
Where these visions of johanna have now taken my place

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 lotta gall to be so useless and all
Muttering small talk at the wall while i'm in the hall
How can i explain?
Oh, it's so hard to get on
And these visions of johanna, they kept me up past the dawn

Inside the museums, infinity goes up on trial
Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while
But mona lisa musta had the highway blues
You can tell by the way she smiles
See the primitive wallflower freeze
When the jelly-faced women all sneeze
Hear the one with the mustache say, "jeeze
I can't find my knees"
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
But these visions of johanna, they make it all seem so cruel

The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him
Sayin', "name me someone that's not a parasite and i'll go out and say a prayer
for him"
But like louise always says
"ya can't look at much, can ya man?"
As she, herself, prepares for him
And madonna, she still has not showed
We see this empty cage now corrode
Where her cape of the stage once had flowed
The fiddler, he now steps to the road
He writes ev'rything's been returned which was owed
On the back of the fish truck that loads
While my conscience explodes
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
And these visions of johanna are now all that remain

 

haha, I was talking to johanna about that song once...

 

that song blew me away.
bob's lyrics always do, tho
another side of bob dylan might be what i'd pick if i could only pick one album to listen to forever.

 

Hmm, I'd probably pick At Fillmore East by the Allman Brothers... my current favorite at the moment.

 

im most like myself but i picked nathan just cuz hes funny, and i want to be funny like him.

 

Becky... you bitch.

 

lmfao. trevor voted for himself.

 

I'm boycotting all of your polls, Becky..

 

Syra, obviously.

 

i dont really know everyone in young hippies that well because i usually post in RT so im gonna say someone else

 

aww, no Micha on the poll? 3000 nearly 4000 posts and not included!


I voted someone else, but I am not sure who they are yet

 

its the only vote ill get

 

george voted for himself too

 

no one voted for me

 

I voted for Katie... I don't know anything about her or who she is, the same way I feel about myself so that makes perfect sense to me

 

but my secondry vote goes to Sammypoo... I was soooo gonna vote for you, haha

 

well it's nice to know im loved

 

Yeah, the thing was, I was going to not post or do the poll and boycott this thread myself. Another reason why is because I couldn't vote for multiple people, and then you voted for yourself so I thought "ooh, good idea " and did it too.

 

where's hugh?? we both have a mutual dislikage of hippy_freak!!
