Speaking of Dylan

In The Ballad of Frankie Lee And Judas Priest, Bob Dylan wrote:

He just stood there staring

At that big house as bright as any sun,

With four and twenty windows

And a woman’s face in ev’ry one.

I think Dylan meant a whorehouse.   But to me the big, bright house is an apartment building, and the faces are 24 women  grabbing that moment to wander, staring through the middle distance above their kitchen sinks.

    Wonderful Blog. How could I have been so clueless not to know how published you are? I, of course, have purchased Bob’s books in the past.

    The kitchen sink is my favorite place (must have a water or mountain view) to dine with a glass of wine all by myself followed by an episode of House Hunters International!
