“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.
I am the bestselling author of nine novels, including the Swiss Chocolate trilogy and VILLA DEL SOL, which won the 2018 Book Award in Literary Fiction from the Independent Publishers of New England.
My newest series includes the books A JINGLE VALLEY WEDDING, APRIL IN GALWAY, and ALL’S WELL IN JINGLE VALLEY.
Find my books online at Amazon, locally at Stillwater Books (Pawtucket, Rhode Island) and Ink Fish Books (Warren, Rhode Island).

One thought on “#AtoZ Dylan – “W” is for Watching the River Flow”
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
