Bob Dylan Hurricane Rita Lyrics Challenge /

A friend of mine, well-known Austin political consultant, film-maker, and man-about-town Mark Nathan, has pointed out a series of unlikely coincidences found within the lyrics and titles of Bob Dylan songs.

A few of the standouts so far include:

-Hurricane
-"..admit that the waters around you have grown"
-Tonight I'll be staying here with you
-Shelter from the Storm
and of course
-A hard rains a gonna fall

Who knows what else is out there? Post comments on this tem between now and the end of the weekend. The staff of HRB will pick a winner and award some sort of Hurricane-appropriate prize (ie, not Spanish Boots of Spanish Leather).

Please note that submissions of lyrics from other songwriters such as Leonard Cohen, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Jakob Dylan, or others will be appreciated, but will not be eligible for prizes.

My Airplane ask has no legs....Maybe we should try something else....My first trivia question is this: What was the only object to survive Patsy Cline's (she's my favorite) plane crash? As Block alluded to earlier, the person with the correct answer (cant use google) will receive a prize to be named later...

"How many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man"?

Answer: 7

Dad, it's a rhetorical question.

Rhetorical, heh....8!

Dad, do you even know what rhetorical means?

Do I know what rhetorical means?

All of this brought to you by the Simpsons.
