Rick Nelson

What's the difference between Bob Dylan and Rick Nelson?
Not much
Except one's the best there ever was
And the other is really good
And
I
Could
Listen to either
All night
And way down into the morning.

It is kind of like the difference between
Hank Aaron
And Robin Yount
Or Bart Starr
And Steve McNair
Or Shakespeare
And Norman Mailer
Or Picasso
And Jackson Pollack.

Not that much
And if you don't believe me
Watch a few Super Bowls
Read Armies Of The Night
And Macbeth
Back to back
Go to a museum
And take a look
Or do the math
755
-
251
=
504
And that's more than I thought
But it doesn't matter
'Cause it's only Rock and Roll.
