comment |
Blonde on Blonde is the seventh studio album by Bob Dylan, released in 1966 through Columbia Records. It was the first double album in rock history, coming out just one week before Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention's Freak Out!. The record is seen as one of Dylan's best and contains the hits "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" (Trope Namer for Everybody Must Get Stoned), "I Want You", "Just Like a Woman" and "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands". |

comment |
Non-Indicative Title: "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" was named that way because Dylan knew nobody would give a song with the title "Everybody Must Get Stoned" any airplay. Coincidentally, 12 times 35 equals 420—but the 420 trope didn't exist yet. |

Face on the Cover: Just Bob Dylan's face. The photo ended up being blurry because it was a cold day, and the photographer was shivering. Despite clearer pictures available, Dylan chose the cover photo we know today, and it has become iconic. |

Ode to Intoxication: "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35", though it uses a Double Entendre of getting "physically stoned" in the biblical sense. And Dylan himself has always denied that he wrote a drug song. |

Love Confession: "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands". No mention of the word love, no sappiness, and a prayer-like devotionnote to Sara Lownds, who had married him three months earlier that just keeps rolling in constant crescendos and decrescendos. |

comment |
Tyop on the Cover: The first pressing of the album sleeve in the US in 1966 listed the song's title as "Stuck Inside of Mobile with The"—cutting off the rest of it. For the first UK pressing, whoever typeset the cover correctly guessed that this was a mistake, but they didn't bother to check what the full title was, so it was listed as "Stuck Inside of Mobile with Thee". |

comment |
Mushroom Samba: According to some accounts, Dylan allegedly fired up a round of joints before recording "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" because he felt it was impossible to record that song with "sober people". That explains the hysterical laughter from the band, and the rather odd pacing of the music. "Everybody Must Get Stoned"? Indeed. That said, other accounts of the song's recording dispute this. |
