In keeping with my obsession with Dylan and his seeming obsession with adverbs, I thought I'd title this post something like the above. I keep listening to "Buckets of Rain" over and over again. It's the closing track to "Blood on the Tracks," for those of you less versed in Dylan's repertoire, and one of Eric's favorites, if I recall correctly. There's something quiet and brilliant about it, like the sermon of a broken-hearted Minnesotan Buddha. Here's a gem:
I been meek
And hard like an oak
I seen pretty people disappear like smoke
Friends will arrive, friends will disappear
If you want me, honey baby
I’ll be here
Cool.
