Talkin' Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Blues
- ... that "Talkin' Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Blues", a humorous account of a real-life event where over 20 people were injured on a boat trip, was one of the first popular songs by Bob Dylan? Source: Heylin, Clinton (1995). Revolution in the Air – the songs of Bob Dylan Vol.1 1957–73, page 59: "Far more than "Song to Woody," "Talkin' Bear Mountain" was the song that got him noticed in the months preceding his fateful meeting with Columbia producer John Hammond"
- Reviewed: Sindee Simon
- Comment: Very open to any suggestions for ALT hooks. Dylan will be 80 on 24 May.

Looks good. Length and age are OK, prose is good quality, neutral and well cited, no indications of any close paraphrasing or copyright issues, and the hook is good (close to the length limit, but hard to avoid with this title). Really enjoyed this one - I knew the song but I hadn't realised it was so popular at the time! Andrew Gray (talk) 21:26, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
