Get a Line On You [Brian Jones]

Bob Dylan

It took me forever to find that picture on my laptop. I definitely have too many pictures on it... 😑

Okay let's first talk about my all time favourite song. I want you by Bob Dylan is without a doubt the song I adore the most. (On second place we would have 'Time is on my side' & 'No expectations' by the Stones) I already mentioned in passing that there is a reference to Brian in the song, which I didn't catch until I read about it.... It's rather obvious though. 

"Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit
He spoke to me, I took his flute
No, I wasn't very cute to him, was I?
But I did it because he lied
Because he took you for a ride
And because time was on his side"

Not mentioned by name, but if you look at it... The most obvious Stones reference is well time was on his side. Obviously Time is on my side is meant here. The first Rolling Stones single which reached the top 10 in the US. Dancing child with his Chinese Suit, who has a flute in a Stones context?? Who could that be?

Obviously. 

Even in the book Bob Dylan All the songs - The Story behind every track which came out in 2015, you'll find a mention:

If sb wondered I own like a million books. Clothes, books & records are basically the only things I ever buy. Seriously who needs food anyway?
