everywhere you look

     When you listen to Bob Dylan's song, "Watching The River Flow," there is a certain unmistakable air and mood about 
the song --

People disagreein' everywhere you look
Makes you wanna stop and read a book
Why, only yesterday I saw somebody on the street
That was -- really shook!
But this ol' river keeps on rollin'...


Two recordings of the song are good to listen to --
On Amazon's Music, there is the original, and then it's fun to compare, go on You Tube and there's a video titled

"Bob Dylan Wtaching The River Flow"
(the word "watching" has this typo -- you can find it that way...)

     This is a live version from recent years -- seems like it was recorded on somebody's phone -- considering this, it's decent sound...

Bob does the song differently from the original recording -- here, it's a fast, rockabilly rhythm -- sounds like a train, or a Johnny Cash song -- Great!

     On the other hand, gospel news is exemplary.  It can give you courage.  You can pace your life accordingly, or try to, anyway...."
