“All I can do is be me, whoever that is.” ~ Bob Dylan
Written and recorded in March 1971, “Watching the River Flow” was included on Dylan’s album Bob Dylan’s Greatest Hits Vol. II. Some people have written that the song is about Dylan’s writer’s block (early 70s), whereas others interpret it as simply Dylan not wanting to write political songs.

The song has been covered by the Earl Scruggs Revue, Colin James, and Leon Russell, but here’s the great Joe Cocker
I’m listening to Dylan’s version. I’d like to think he realizes there’s nothing to say in the craziness of politics and it’s best to sit by the river and watch it flow. ;D
