Bob Dylan: "Jokerman" from the album "Infidels", 1983

4 comments on "Jokerman"

INFIDELS album cover artwork
"Infidels", Track #1

DIANA: Indeed the images do whirl and the song really grew on me the more I listened. However, I have not been able to make much sense of the words--other than images. Of course, Bob does that in a lot of his music. (09/15/09)

BILL: I believe the Jokerman can be one of a few historical figures, but Gen Custer works best for me. He carried the American Myth to the grave with his old bones. (03/19/09)

SHAYNE: Some vague reference to J.C perhaps? (02/13/09)

DAVID DIXON: This song is stunning. It won't hold still for any consistent analysis, but it touches me. Its images whirl all around. I'm not sure what it means, but it strikes me in the heart; it rings true. (03/30/06)
