Another side of Bob and more!

Well, he knocked out a lynch mob, he was criticized
Old women condemned him, said he should apologize.
Then he destroyed a bomb factory, nobody was glad
The bombs were meant for him. He was supposed to feel bad
He’s the neighborhood bully

Rita May via Jerry Lee ...10:34 am

Jerry Lee Lewis tackles the Bob Dylan songbook, on the YouTube clip below, apparently from 1985:

No yellow railroads or tambourine men for Jerry Lee. Rita May is of-course a Bob Dylan/Jacques Levy composition from the Desiresessions. It was released as a b-side back then and was also featured in some Rolling Thunder live performances. It’s hard to believe it took two people to write it, but there you are. And with Jerry Lee improvising on the lyrics, I guess this version is actually the product of three composers.
