Пересмотрели с отцом дилановскую документалку "Dont look back". Во время разговора с интервьюером из Time Magasin Боб упоминает Рокфеллера и некого C. W. Jones. Между прочем, тур по Великобритании 1965 года проходил за пару месяцев до написании Диланом "Ballad Of A Thin Man", так что вполне может быть, что задумка о мистере Джонсе родилась у него уже тогда). Решив узнать нет ли точного определения этого C. W. Jones, я обратилась к гуглу, и на одном из форумов я нашла один совершенно очаровательный комментарий:
C.W. Jones was a frustrated accounting clerk who was the real author of most of Bob's early songs. He disappeared mysteriously around 1964-65, after having been spoonfed cigarettes and riot squids by Albert and his henchmen. Это десятка, безусловно.
А эту песню Дилан написал для Джоан Баэз, в фильме она ее и исполняет, пока Гроссман сыто посапывает в кресле, Дилан печатает на машинке, по гостиничному номеру курсируют всякие непонятные типчики, а все поверхности усеяны сигаретным пеплом, пустыми бокалами из под вина и рома, словом, атмосфера господствует true-artisan atmosphere.

Listen or download Love Is Just A Four-letter Word for free on PleerSeems like only yesterday
I left my mind behind
Down in the Gypsy Café
With a friend of a friend of mine
She sat with a baby heavy on her knee
Yet spoke of life most free from slavery
With eyes that showed no trace of misery
A phrase in connection first that she averred
That love is just a four-letter wordSeems like only yesterday
I left my mind behind
Down in the Gypsy Café
With a friend of a friend of mine
She sat with a baby heavy on her knee
Yet spoke of life most free from slavery
With eyes that showed no trace of misery
A phrase in connection first that she averred
That love is just a four-letter word
Outside a rambling store-front window
Cats meowed to the break of day
Me, I kept my mouth shut,
To you I had no words to say
My experience was limited and underfed
You were talking while I hid
To the one who was the father of your kid
You probably didn't think I did, but I heard
You say that love is just a four-letter word
I said goodbye unnoticed
Pushed forward into my own games
Drifting in and out of lifetimes
Unmentionable by name
After searching for my double, looking for
Complete evaporation to the core
Though I tried and failed at finding any door
I must have thought that there was nothing more absurd
Than that love is just a four-letter word
Though I never knew just what you meant
When you were speaking to your man
I could only think in terms of me
And now I understand
After waking enough times to think I see
The Holy Kiss that's supposed to last eternity
Blow up in smoke, its destiny
Falls on strangers, travels free
Yes, I know now, traps are only set by me
And I do not really need to be assured
That love is just a four-letter word
Strange it is to be beside you, many years the tables turned
You'd probably not believe me if told you all I've learned
And it is very very weird, indeed
To hear words like "forever" plead
though ships run through my mind I cannot cheat
it's like looking in a teacher's face complete
I can say nothing to you but repeat what I heard
That love is just a four-letter word.
