Hey, it's songday. Today I pick a song that I believe warrants it and publish an assortment of the covers of that song by various persons and or groups. Pick a few that are new to you and have a listen. It is also, of course, an open thread to talk about anything you feel like.
Today's song is: My Back Pages

Thanks, el.
The Magokoro Brothers video was very interesting to watch. It's filmed from quite an interesting angle.
My favourites (not including Dylan himself) were the two Keiths. I enjoyed both their interpretations.
The first time I saw the Magoro Brothers version, somebody
had managed to obscure all information as to what it was. Suddenly I found myself thinking: "Wait! I know this song." It was quite an experience. Once I found out that it was part of a movie, I went and got it. The whole film it is from is pretty strange and interesting (and mostly in english). The playlist is all Dylan tunes and is pretty amazing, including, among other things, four done by Dylan, 1 by Los Lobos, 1 dy the Grateful Dead, one by Jerry Garcia, one by the Magoro Brothers, and more.

Sounds interesting, el.
Here's a review from Roger Ebert.
The film seems to have generated
some pretty strong and conflicting opinions .
I watched it because of the music and to see what would happen
next. I must confess to being a lifelong fan of the absurd, dada, surrealism and all of that.

I hear you.
When you have some extra time and interest, check out this 6 minute Dadaist film, by Hans Richter from the open culture website.

That's a lot of pages, and none of it is ringing a bell. I can't listen now, but I will later.

Just so you know, I love this kind of thread.
I love finding the original version of a song and tracing its journey, but I have never been as thorough as you. If posting, I will usually post the original version, unless I have what seems to me to be a specific and good reason to post a cover or a couple of versions.
This helped me with Turn Me On. I heard the Norah Jones version and thought it was one of the sexiest songs I'd ever heard. However, I also thought it was one of the most sexist songs I'd ever heard. On researching it, I learned it was a cover of a song written by a male and first recorded by a male. Then, it no longer seemed sexist and I could enjoy it without that reservation.
