Who wrote the song "Knockin' on Heaven's Door"?

Good movie, great song.

I believe he gave over the rights to this song to support the victims of the Dunblane shooting

He won the Nobel prize for literature. His songs are poetry.

Good old Zimmy!

Definitive Dylan song. Living through those Dylan years young and happy I don't think we realized what a great voice for our generation he was, and, dare I say it prophet.

According to Time magazine (July 1966), an early '60s slang term for a doobie (there's another one) was Rainy Day Woman. I've never heard of this, but it does make sense in the context of the song. Now, something harder to explain: 12 times 35 equals 420, a reference that wouldn't come into existence for fifty years. Maybe Dylan really was a prophet.

I'm not a fan of Dylan's singing, but he is a genius songwriter. My favorites are Rainy Day Women, The Hurricane, and Lay Lady Lay.

I Love Dylan ❤️
