Bob Dylan’s Nobel Prize in Literature, to be awarded later this week, we are posting this rare bootleg of Limited Hangout, recorded at Liverpool’s Crown Plaza Hotel in the spring of 1965. This clip is from a video montage looking back at Dylan’s career of over half a century, which will be screened during the ceremony in Stockholm — and features a song that was originally the inspiration for the name of this blog.

Who of ye will cast the first stone

While you decline to atone

For those honey-toned

Double-dealing half truths

Flooding the nation,

Fast drowning in a cesspool

Of misinformation?

Hear those catch phrases

To appease and curb the masses,

Prayers for the nation,

Equating it with its assets.

Limited hangout, call it out,

A truth told with a bad intent

Beats all the lies you can invent.

Limited hangout, ain’t it nice and ain’t it handy?

Doling out those nuggets of information

Like wrapped-up candy.
