Music on Clinton street all through the evening?

Hi Hartmut,

Precisely and instantaneously correct ("Famous Blue Raincoat").

Too easy!

Is he a poet? A procrastinator? A prophet? A fashonista? A herdsman? An athlete?

Hi Hartmut,

"Going Home" mentions those roles. Btw, seeing your question reminded me at first of Kris Krisofferson's
song "The Pilgrim."

You're right again.

I was thinking of Kris K. as well.

Hi,

As a boy, on two evenings every year, L.C. likely commemorated something that is
said to have taken place a long time ago. Lyrics connected to the commemoration
are contained in one of his songs. Please name the song.

Hm ... Tricky.

Hi Hartmut,

Hint: a Jewish holiday.

Yes, I suspected that it was about a religious holiday. But that's about as far a I got.

Hm ... Maybe you're talking about "Who by Fire" - because of its connections to Rosh Hashanah and Jom Kippur.

Hi Hartmut,

Hint: Passover.

"Born in Chains". The exodus from Egypt.

Last attempt.

Hi Hartmut,

"Born In Chains" is correct: I was born in chains / But I was taken out of Egypt.

Thanks.

Now I'm out of ideas.

Hi,

The New Testament reports something specific that was done to Jesus when he was on
the cross. The same thing happens (not literally) to a song character (not Jesus, not in
a crucifixion, and in what could be a different time altogether). Please name the song.
