.: Diamonds And Rust :. DEE Date Submitted:  2014-05-01 [Archive Date: 2014-07-30] Genre:  POPular Original Artist:  Joan Baez Additional Info:  Disc Mfg:    Disc #:   Description:  *** You don't have to read if you don't want to, I will not be offended, but this is good stuff to know-Lol *** Here is a song from the same titled album back in 1975. In this song, Joan Baez is singing to her former lover Bob Dylan, fondly reminiscing about their 1960s affair. Released as a single, this track became only her second top 40 hit in the States, and her biggest self-composed hit (her other hit came in 1971 with -The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down. In addition to singing on this, Baez played the Moog and Arp Synthesizers. It is also said that Baez revealed to The Huffington Post that she wrote this song after Bob Dylan called her from a phone booth and sang her the lyrics to his song Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts. Baez said that this gave her inspiration to write Diamonds & Rust, and that she lied to Dylan, telling him it was about David Harris, who she was married to from 1968-1973. Bob Dylan rarely reveals much about his songs, but his track Queen Jane Approximately is most likely his take on his relationship with Baez. Also, That crummy hotel over Washington Square refers to the Hotel Earle, where Baez and Dylan lived for a while. It's located at at 103 Waverly Place on the corner of MacDougal Street in New York City. Once a place of luxury, the Hotel Earle deteriorated in the '60s and became an apartment hotel popular with starving artists. Notable inhabitants included Ernest Hemingway, Barbra Streisand and Bill Cosby. It was purchased in the '70s and became the Washington Square Hotel in 1986. The end of Side 1 of the album contains a parody of Bob Dylan's voice on his own A Simple Twist Of Fate. I thank you for listening. Love, DEE xoxoxo~~@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@~~ Overall Rank:  Rank Unavailable Total Comments:  0 Listen:    Sorry, this submission has been archived.
