<p>Genius. Check out Bob Dylan's "Last Thoughts on Woody Guthire". I imagine that's what inspired Dr. Dog's poem.</p>

<p>yes on the Dylan comment. Dr. Dog's reading of that poem in their song seems like an imitation of the pace and cadence and intonation and basically everything from Dylan's recital of his Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie.</p>
<p>I'm actually not convinced that the poem recited in Dr. Dog's song is actually theirs? Does anyone know if that's really something they wrote or something they adapted from someone else like Bobby Z or Woody?</p>

<p>Ryan, since it is VERY difficult to find any info about this poem, other than <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takers_and_Leavers_-_EP">the incredibly lacking wikipedia page</a>, I have always assumed it was an original written by Scott or Zach, the two primary song writers in Dr. Dog (I think).</p>

<p>I just saw them here in Portland last week. My god these guys are on fire right now!</p>
<p>Thanks for the update on Scott's poem, that's great.</p>
