Tambourine Man Revisited.

I just watched a YouTube video about a group of teenage psychiatric patients who were asked to draw something to indicate how they responded to Dylan’s Mr Tambourine Man.

I had to watch it, didn’t I? My daughter told me recently that she thought my rendition better than Dylan’s. High praise indeed, but taken with some circumspection of course. And I think I played it for Zoe once, but I can’t be sure. I do remember playing it to a wild rabbit sitting in my garden one evening, but all I got from the rabbit was indifference.

In any event, now I’m left wondering whether the patients would have drawn different pictures if they’d heard my version.
