|    Rough and Rowdy Ways title and Woody Gut    |

      From: rollason54@gmail.com              The title of Dylan's album 'Rough and Rowdy Ways' has been traced to ‘My       rough and rowdy ways’, a song recorded in 1930 by Jimmie Rodgers.               However, an alternative possible source is a passage in Woody Guthrie's       autobiography of 1943, Bound For Glory: in that book's chapter VI, a character       declares: 'I'm gonna give up my good ol' ruff [sic] and rowdy ways' (p. 95 of       the 1974 Picador edition).                      Was Guthrie influenced by Rodgers, and Dylan by both? Here as with Tarantula,       there may be more than one source for Dylan's title ...               --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
