  • Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie ist ein Langgedicht von Bob Dylan aus dem Jahr 1963. Es beschreibt die erfolgreiche Suche des Protagonisten nach einem Ausweg aus Unzufriedenheit und Einsamkeit. Der Schlüssel liege in der Hoffnung. Diese sei in Gott ebenso zu finden wie in Woody Guthrie, und beiden könne man bei Sonnenuntergang im Grand Canyon begegnen. Damit räumt Dylan seinem Idol Guthrie trotz dessen schwerer Erkrankung einen hohen Stellenwert als Quelle der Hoffnung ein. Im Vergleich zu Song To Woody (1961) zeigt er hier aber eine größere künstlerische Unabhängigkeit, sodass der Text als Abschied von Guthrie lesbar wird. Weitere Themen sind die Natur und die Gesellschaft der USA. Dylan trug den Text während seines ersten großen Konzerts am 12. April 1963 in der New Yorker Town Hall vor. Danach wurde die Aufnahme jahrelang in verschiedenen Raubkopien veröffentlicht, bis sie schließlich 1991 in der ersten Ausgabe von The Bootleg Series Vol. 1–3, Rare & Unreleased, 1961–1991, offiziell erschien. Gedruckt wurde Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie erstmals 1973 in Writings and Drawings. Eric Clapton bezeichnete das Gedicht als die Zusammenfassung von Bob Dylans Lebenswerk. Der Musikjournalist nahm es in sein Buch über Dylans einhundert beste Songs auf. (de)
  • "Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie" is a poem by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, written in honor of his idol Woody Guthrie, who at the time was dying from Huntington's disease.

The poem is essentially an analysis of hope. Dylan sets the scene by describing the stressors of everyday life and the myriad of challenging choices we have to make. These stimuli can cause us to feel alone, lost, and without direction. Dylan then explains the function of hope and how we need something to give our lives meaning. He finishes by suggesting that, for him, Woody Guthrie is as much a source of hope and beauty in the world as God, or religion. The poem's winding, stream-of-consciousness style has been compared to Dylan's 2016 Nobel Lecture. Dylan's performance at the Town Hall on April 12 was also used to debut several new compositions, such as "Tomorrow Is a Long Time", "Dusty Old Fairgrounds", "Ramblin' Down Thru the World", and "Bob Dylan's New Orleans Rag". However, at the end of the concert, Dylan returned to the stage to recite one of his poems in public, "Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie", which he has never done since. In his introduction, Dylan explained that he had written the piece after being asked to "write something about Woody...what does Woody Guthrie mean to you in twenty-five words" in the impending release of a book about Guthrie. He then explained that he "couldn't do it – I wrote out five pages and... I have it here...Have it here by accident, actually" (en)
