When I grew up, they used to tell me about the Battle of Britain, RAF, Winston Churchill, all that stuff. Now, we all know that Britain stood alone and without any allies; and that always meant a lot to me and everybody that I grew up With.

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[/vc_message][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Saying, “This land is condemned
All the way from New Orleans

Where many martyrs fell
And I know no one can sing the blues

I'm always amazed that the live versions released by Bob's people are so often surpassed by much better versions out there in the ether. This Blind Willie McTell also ranks right up there along with Visions and Dignity. Some day, maybe, he will enable a grand journey through the archives for a selection of these masterpieces.
