One of the beauties of Amusements Minor growing up is that I get to share more diverse things from my own younger days with him, whether that's music, books, film or television. Example? Well, just recently we've started watching The Walking Dead - he's just about old enough for zombies, and the brutal dispatch thereof, we think.
Anyway, we've just got to the downbeat end of the very first series, specifically when Rick and co flee the CDC seconds before it goes up in smoke. That episode closes with this absolute pearl from Bob Dylan, a song for tomorrow is ever there was one.
Haven't ever seen the Walking Dead but this song came back into my world via a different route this week and it is as you say an absolute pearl.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, I enjoyed your Dylan post today.
Delete"Just about old enough for zombies" - that made me smile! (I'm not sure I am yet...)
ReplyDeleteCover your eyes....and then peak between your fingers.
Delete"Old enough for zombies, and the brutal dispatch thereof" is one thing, but what about the brutal dispatch of humans? I'd maybe switch to another show before Negan turns up...
DeleteThat's not until the sixth series, is it? I don't think I watched that far first time around.
DeleteYou did right.
