about

Great Moments in Bad Graphic Design: I ran across an old ad in our free weekly from a long while back advertising one of the shows that Bob Dylan did with the Grateful Dead...but the layout made it look as if there was one act, simply called "The Dead Bob Dylan."

I also figured I'd better write this song before it's needed. Live long, Bob.

lyrics

The dead Bob Dylan
sings a Geiger counter
whose slow peaks graph falling night

The dead Bob Dylan
hears the cypress shiver,
reads the words the keen wind writes

The dead Bob Dylan
knows the stones, coast to coast,
build a tower underground

The dead Bob Dylan
never bleeds—angel seeds
sprout from dusty cowboy sounds

The times are unchanging now
Answers fall as the wind dies down
