Description: Man thinks 'cause he rules the earth he can do with it as he please And if things don't change soon, he will. Oh, man has invented his doom, First step was touching the moon. Now, (More) Man thinks 'cause he rules the earth he can do with it as he please And if things don't change soon, he will. Oh, man has invented his doom, First step was touching the moon. Now, there's a woman on my block, She just sit there as the night grows still. She say who gonna take away his license to kill? Now, they take him and they teach him and they groom him for life And they set him on a path where he's bound to get ill, Then they bury him with stars, Sell his body like they do used cars. Now, there's a woman on my block, She just sit there facin' the hill. She say who gonna take away his license to kill? Now, he's hell-bent for destruction, he's afraid and confused, And his brain has been mismanaged with great skill. All he believes are his eyes And his eyes, they just tell him lies. But there's a woman on my block, Sitting there in a cold chill. She say who gonna take away his license to kill? Ya may be a noisemaker, spirit maker, Heartbreaker, backbreaker, Leave no stone unturned. May be an actor in a plot, That might be all that you got 'Til your error you clearly learn. Now he worships at an altar of a stagnant pool And when he sees his reflection, he's fulfilled. Oh, man is opposed to fair play, He wants it all and he wants it his way. Now, there's a woman on my block, She just sit there as the night grows still. She say who gonna take away his license to kill? "Jokerman"/"License To Kill" - 7" promo singles, CBS A 4055 (UK/Spain), Apr 1984: JokerSpainPromoFront.JPG (27964 bytes) CBS A4055 (Spanish promo) - front of sleeve (my copy) R-0161 Jokerman - single edit, faded out at 4:30 CBS A4055 promo 45 (Spain) has radio edit (4:30) on one side, with the album version of Licence To Kill (3:31) from Infidels on the other. The Jokerman song length is misprinted as 4:00 but it is the 4:30 edit (I played it and timed it!). I can only assume that the intention was to use the 4:05 edit (R-0605, see the US single below). The Spanish label does not have the catalogue number, it's part of the matrix number on the vinyl itself. Subject: Space Travel From: "L. Horton" (horton@bway.net) Date: 1996/06/06 Rocket ship The EDLIS Things Twice Agency is rounding up information on a recurring thread about Dylan's opposition to space travel. Here is what we have so far: It has been observed several times in postings to this group that space travel is a long-standing anathema to Dylan. Some time ago an EDLIS informant wrote: One of the major and consistent planks of our hero's political ideology is opposition to rocket ships. . . . [Its] interesting to find one issue where Dylan has presented a consistent opinion and never felt inclined to joke about or strike a mock pose on the topic. The strongest lyrical statement against space travel is found in License To Kill: Man thinks 'cause he rules the earth he can do with it as he please And if things don't change soon, he will. Oh, man has invented his doom, First step was touching the moon. Challenger Launch Two weeks after the Challenger Space Shuttle Disaster, on February 12, 1986 in Sydney, Dylan gave a rare 1986 performance of License To Kill. In his introduction to it, Dylan reiterated his anti-space travel position in no uncertain terms: All right we're gonna try something different tonight. Here's something I wrote a while back, about the space program. You heard about the tragedy right? It really was. It really was a tragedy though 'cause you see the people had no right going up there. Like, there's not enough problems on Earth to solve? So I wanna dedicate this song to all those poor people who were fooled into going up there. Other lyrical references with negative implications regarding space travel include Union Sundown: They used to grow food in Kansas Now they want to grow it on the moon and eat it raw. I can see the day coming when even your home garden Is gonna be against the law. . . . From Broadway to the Milky Way, That's a lot of territory indeed And a man's gonna do what he has to do When he's got a hungry mouth to feed. and The Devil's Been Busy [Traveling Wilburys Volume 3]: Steaming down the highway with your trucks and toxic waste Where you gonna hide it, maybe outer space? The liner notes from Planet Waves show Dylan's contempt for astronauts: NASA Space guys off duty with big dicks & duck tails all wired up & voting for Eisenhower, waving flags & jumping off fire engines, getting killed on motorcycles whatever--we sensed each other beneath the mask, pitched a tent in the street & joined the traveling circus, love at first sight! -- --Larry Rocket ship Waiting To Find Out What !

Rocket ship From the Laurie Henshaw Interview, May 12, 1965 . . . Henshaw: You must obviously make a lot of money nowadays? Dylan: I spend it all. I have six Cadillacs. I have four houses. I have a plantation in Georgia. Oh, I'm also working on a rocket. A little rocket. Not a big rocket. Not the kind of rocket they have in Cape Canaveral. I don't know about those kind of rockets. Ron Chester From: rcj10@cam.ac.uk Subject: Bob and outer space... Date: 28 Jul 1994 11:00:38 -0500 Rocket ship Entertainment Centre, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia 12 February 1986. [773] Anyone have a tape of this performance? What exactly does Bob say about the space programme? Introducing Licence To Kill (21) -- not a common concert number -- he refers to America's tragedy, "They had no business being up there..." The reference is to the Space Shuttle Disaster. This is the concert where Stevie Nicks joined in on guitar and vocals for Knockin' On Heaven's Door (27) and then the Australian authorities tried to deport her because she had performed without a work visa... One of the major and consistent planks of our hero's political ideology is opposition to rocket ships. Anyone care to guess why? Most kids like rocket ships. And 1950s American television was pretty pro-rocket ships, was it not? Or is it a fan-split thing, if you modelled yourself on Matt Dillon you did not like space tv, if you liked the space shows you hated the westerns? Just interesting to find one issue where Dylan has presented a consistent opinion and never felt inclined to joke about or strike a mock pose on the topic.

Rocket ship My memory may be failing me here, but I don't recall much space talk until the USSR launched the Sputnik satellites. That was 1957, when Bob was probably a sophomore or junior in high school. Then there was much concern that we were a bunch of math and science illiterates and we had to shape up--but that mostly affected children in the lower grades. However, after that, all the hype about our astronauts and "The Right Stuff" (not called that until much later, but it wasn't hard to figure who was the clean-cut astronaut type) I can imagine didn't sit well with his disheveled bohemian James Deanly Bobness. Or, maybe he just thinks the space program has been an appalling waste of financial resources while so many social and environmental problems have been ignored. ***************************************************************************** Sandy Ramer Take what you have gathered from coincidence.

It reflected various previous threads from the newsgroup. E.g. the title UFO reflected a comment some time ago that one of Bob Dylan's few political consistencies is that space travel is wrong. It was then suggested that that was an oversight by Bob and his next album would be pro-space travel. Etc etc etc etc Fake new albums suddenly withdrawn are common on music newsgroups. Gary?

I don't have any particular problem with Dylan's well-know opposition to space travel -- but "first step" .... after Auschwitz, after Hiroshima, after Nagasaki, after the Cuban Missile Crisis..... Another line which I find really silly, but nonetheless enjoy is Dylan's self-dramatizing declaration Alright, I'll take a chance I will fall in love with you If I'm a fool you can have the night You can have the money too! As someone has pointed out before this could be damning evidence in the upcoming palimony suit -- but maybe Dylan will claim that Ruth T. actually wrote it.....

Rocket ship Wellll, I remember that thread too...but I can only think of one other reference to space travel in a Dylan song -- also on "Infidels" -- something about raising crops on an orbiting satellite and eating them uncooked. Am I forgetting something? Or are there photographs of him picketing the Apollo launches? (Less)
