Mr. Tambourine Man
Song by Bob Dylan,[1] made more famous by the Byrds.[2]
The blues was acceptable in San Francisco, but didn't go over in Hollywood at all. I remember the Butterfield Blues Band playing at the Trip. They were hot shit everyplace else in the country, but the people in L.A. would rather have listened to Mr. Tambourine Man.
