The title song tops the US charts

Lulu masters two fine arts.

This tiny Glasgow lass

had made world super class.

Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan
Minnesota 1941-
Musician, singer, songwriter.
Record producer, artist, writer.
----
Never my favourite singer
nor my favourite songs.
A nervous schizophrenic America
guilty of many wrongs.
Ku Klux Klan enjoying the strife
segregation was rife.
White power the end game
until a lady came to fame.
Rosa Parks the lady's name.
much higher than Dylan's game
she stood her ground on a bus
not a tweet of musical fuss.
