       Have you heard that rumour that's going around
      You got it made, way across town
      It's the same old story, tell me where does it end
      Yes, I heard the news, it's the same old blues again
      When I wrote you a letter, you must have read it wrong
      I stood at your doorway, but you was gone
      I took a lot of courage and let the telephone ring
      It's the same old blues, same old blues again
      When you give me the business, you know I get a mind
      'Cause I've got a lot of patience and I've got a lot of time
      It's the same old story, tell me where does it end
      It's the same old blues, same old blues again
      I'm gonna find me a mountain, I'm gonna hide out
      I ain't talking to you and I ain't coming out
      Yeah, I heard that rumour, tell me where does it end
      It's the same old blues, same old blues again

      Length: 3:38

       Carter and John Artis had been falsely accused of a triple murder at the Lafayette Grill in Paterson, New Jersey, in 1966. The following year Carter and Artis were found guilty of the murders, which were widely reported as racially motivated. In the years that followed, a substantial amount of controversy emerged over the case, ranging from allegations of faulty evidence and questionable eyewitness testimony to an unfair trial.
      
      In his autobiography, Carter maintained his innocence and, after reading it, Dylan visited him in Rahway State Prison in Woodbridge Township, New Jersey.
      
      Of writing the song, author Clinton Heylin wrote that "Dylan had written topical ballads such as 'The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll' and Bob wasn't sure that he could write a song [about Carter]... He was just filled with all these feelings about Hurricane. He couldn't make the first step. I think the first step was putting the song in a total storytelling mode. I don't remember whose idea it was to do that. But really, the beginning of the song is like stage directions, like what you would read in a script: 'Pistol shots ring out in a barroom night.... Here comes the story of the Hurricane.' Boom! Titles. You know, Bob loves movies, and he can write these movies that take place in eight to ten minutes, yet seem as full or fuller than regular movies".

      Hey Hey My My (Into the Black)

      Performer: NoMeansNo
      Composer: Young
      Length: 4:53

       "Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)" is a song written by Canadian-American musician Neil Young. Combined with its acoustic counterpart "My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)", it bookends Young's 1979 album Rust Never Sleeps.
      
      The lyrics from counterpart My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue), "it's better to burn out than to fade away" were widely quoted by his peers and by critics. The line "It's better to burn out than it is to rust" is often credited to Young's friend Jeff Blackburn of The Ducks.
      
      Out of the blue and into the black, are you taking me back?
      
      According to Young, the version of the song on Rust Never Sleeps is the same as that on Live Rust, except that for the Rust Never Sleeps version they removed the crowd noise and added sound effects such as hand claps and slamming doors in the studio.
