MAGGIE'S FARM - BOB DYLAN

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJxm58htzqc





General CommentThe title "Maggies Farm" is a play on "Magee Farm", where Dylan had played in 1963 in support of the Civil Rights movement. When some people were angered by the way he "moved on" to other subjects in his songs, he argued that "protest" was simplistic, and that he had the right to write about whatever the hell he felt like. This song just makes that point.  



Not working down on PF always comes to mind... but Dylan's song is very different in sound and subject

Parchman Farm - Parchman

The Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman has inspired many songs, including “Parchman Farm Blues” by singer-guitarist Booker “Bukka” White, who was once an inmate here, and “Parchman Farm” by jazz singer-pianist Mose Allison. Folklorists from the Library of Congress and other institutions also came to Parchman beginning in the 1930s to document the pre-blues musical forms of field hollers and work songs, which survived here due to the prison’s relative isolation from modern cultural influences.
