Some stuff I did not know. In fact, I know very little of him, especially not of his love life. Congrats on the win.

John, as a huge Dylan fan. I truly enjoyed this. I have seen him at concerts quite a few times...but I must say, his last performance was hard to watch...his voice is growing old. Congrats on your win!

Thank you, I last watched him in Manchester a few years back and yes his voice has failed him, however he has been a big influence on my life and you can never take his poetic lyrics away

I am sure some of his work was inspired by his love John. Congratulations on your win! : )

I bet some of Dylan's songs were inspired by Sarah. Nice clerihew, John. Congratulations on your win! Best wishes, Carolyn

Hi Carolyn, Sad eyed Lady of the Lowlands was written for and about Sarah, so it is said, thanks for the placement and the fun. As a newbee here it is nice to get a nudge
