Bob Dylan, everyone's favorite rock 'n' roll grandpa, turns 67 on Saturday. And as much as it pains us to watch yet another musical hero crumple in the inevitable train wreck of time, we're glad that Bobby Zimmerman is still making good music and winning Pulitzers like a man half his age.
We thought a good, and slightly sarcastic, way to celebrate Dylan's 67th year would be to embed a video of his "67th best song." That is, until we realized that several people actually have opinions about that kind of thing.
The users of music-tracking website Last.FM think "Everything is Broken" from "Modern Times" is the 67th best track. Positively-BobDylan.com is closer, selecting "One of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later)" from "Blonde on Blonde" as the 67th greatest cut.
They're all wrong, of course. As any true Dylan fan knows, the 67th best song he ever recorded was "Talkin' World War III Blues" from 1963's "The Freewheelin'." Here it is, in all its aged glory.
