Shuke's 1400 favorite songs by 1400 different artists. (4 Viewers)

In keeping with the "Fight For Your Right To Party" pick, the Beasties were probably my favorite group when I was eighteen. I wound up hanging out with the alternative kids in college because over first-year orientation, we all found that we sort of dressed in baggy stuff and listened to Seattle grunge and Check Your Head and Paul's Boutique like a gospel. Your favorite Beastie was an actual topic of conversation among us. Mike D was the cool kid favorite, I had Ad Rock.

I still do. 

 
As per usual, the thread isn't explained that well in the OP, but that's the gist of it. It should have stated right away to pick a Dylan album from '62-'66 and run with it (Blonde on Blonde is '66 and so is Live From Royal Albert, but I'm not looking at those as much.)
Also taking a Dylan album from 62-66 is like swinging at a a beach ball

 
1) Love the song.

2) The lyrics need no deep listen - they are plain as day:

Now don't you ever feel sad
Lean on me when the times are bad
When the day comes and you're down, baby
In a river of trouble and about to drown


Just hold on, I'm comin'
Hold on, I'm comin'


Good good start to the night.
I dig. 

 
180. Johnny Cash - Big River

Audio on this clip isn't great, but I like the fast tempo more than the other versions I found.
Another pesonal anecdote: Back in my twenties, I'd recently gotten into what you guys are partaking in tonight. Cash's San Quentin and Folsom Prison, which you could get on cassette for $2.99 at Strawberries record store at the time (remember them?) were constantly played in my post-collegiate apt., as was lots of old country and blues and folk.

Big River is one of my favorite beginnings to an album. Ever.
