@edgarblythe,
Welcome back, Texas. Loved James Phelps' The Look on Your Face. Thanks for the introduction.
I suppose that Dylan's best know poem is this one.
DO NOT GO GENTLE INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rage at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
I'm a bit odd, but I don't think that has to do with dying.
Today is Ruby Dee's birthday, so here is a tribute to her and Ossie.

I recognized some of the songs played in the background:
What's new; Sentimental Journey; Mona Lisa
