Forever Young: Tribute To A Song With A Few Photographs

I was recently reading the book Hollywood Foto-Rheroric: The Lost Manuscript.

See Powell's books [ http://powells.com/biblio/1-9781439112502-5

It is a manuscript lost for forty years wherein Bob Dylan wrote 23 poems to go with the photographs of Barry Feinstein. Around the same time I was looking at a pbase gallery From Nora Van Beek titled May you be "Forever Young" with the Lyrics and a You Tube video of Dylan's Song

[ https://pbase.com/noravan/may_you_be_forever_young

Between the Power of the song, the lyrics and the books I was taken with the idea of using some of my photo's with these lyrics as well and creating a meager attempt at something interesting.
Nora has graciously given me permission to use her very excellent idea. I do this in tribute to a great song by a great poet and musician whom I hope you will appreciate all the more and for all of time.

This brings me to the end of this song and thus to the end of this little photo project.

But remember ...

"May you stay forever young.
Forever young, forever young.
May you stay forever young."
