| Bob Dylan – Temporary Like Achilles Lyrics | 3 months ago |
| People remember Archilles - defining feature as one point of vulnerability. So is to be "Temporary like Archilles" - to have one point of vulnerability? The lyrics tell of his quest and reason, the futility and the legacy of the failed search for this "access" point. The "Lime" option, a comment - Limestone's unique composition, simultaneously soft and robust, has made it a favoured medium for sculptors. Its pliability allows for intricate detailing while maintaining structural integrity. Masterpieces like Michelangelo's "David" and the iconic Sphinx of Egypt bear testament to the exquisite artistry achievable with limestone. | |

@[Emale:49861] "It seems Bob Dylan was as much a scientific visionary as a social one. In his 1966 masterpiece Blonde on Blonde, Dylan rasps of being “helpless like a rich man’s child.” A study in the February issue of Current Directions in Psychological Science argues that growing up in an affluent culture forebodes potential psychosocial risks. “Children of the Affluent: Challenges to Well-Being” found evidence that upper-class children can manifest elevated tendencies toward substance use, anxiety, and depression. The authors traced these behaviors back to two factors common among affluent teens: excessive pressures to achieve and isolation (both literal and emotional) from parents. “Family wealth does not automatically confer either wisdom in parenting or equanimity of spirit,” the authors write. The findings also gainsay previous stereotypes that affluent youth and poor youth are respectively “low risk” and “high risk,” revealing more similarities than differences in their adjustment patterns and socialization processes. Of course “helpless like a high risk child” might not carry the same poetic charm, but it’s in tune with the latest science. https://www.psychologicalscience.org/observer/rich-kid-poor-kid |

For sure an "end-of-relationship"- a soft albeit painful release. Why not just say "Go away?" Dylan does this frequently - he tells a story to show us a truth - the story is the pain from being "let go" - and the truth is the essential qualities that improve the chance of a relationship succeeding. |

@[KarenZevon:49860] - Possibly but a word of caution comes from The story of Dylan's writing "When the ship comes in" which reminds us that the "Utterance" - maybe the result of other "things" going on for Bob. Joan Baez states in the documentary film No Direction Home that the song was inspired by a hotel clerk who refused to allow Dylan a room due to his "unwashed" appearance (he was not famous outside of the folk movement at this time). The song then grew into a sprawling epic allegory about vanquishing the oppressive "powers that be". Another inspiration was the Bertolt Brecht/Kurt Weill song, "Pirate Jenny".[1] According to biographer Clinton Heylin, "When the Ship Comes In" was written in August 1963 "in a fit of pique, in a hotel room, after his unkempt appearance had led an impertinent hotel clerk to refuse him admission until his companion, Joan Baez, had vouched for his good character".https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_the_Ship_Comes_In |
