And earlier this month, Lindsay Lohan sold an image of her face as a digital asset since changing hands a couple of times, itвЂ™s now valued at almost $50,000. Artist Chris Torres just sold a one-of-a-kind, slightly modified NFT version of his famous GIF Nyan Cat вЂ“ you know, the animated flying feline with a Pop-Tart body вЂ“ for nearly $600,000.

He and his girl successfully escape from one very weird graduation ceremony. Straight for the hills, the black hills of Dakota Took hold of my sweetheart and away we did drive The sense of the ending, at least IMHO, is that though the gypsyвЂ™s gone, heвЂ™s perfectly OK with that he doesnвЂ™t really need whatever wisdom the gypsy had to offer him. I can think of three Dylan story songs with reasonably positive endings. Finally they encounter her former love, who seems very confident he can get her back, and in the last line of the song she turns away and leaves with the narrator.ДЇinally, I think we can all conclude Honey was much better off dead than married to Bobby Goldsboro. Guy falls in love with a woman who had been in love with another man, and is terrified he will lose her to him again. Running ScaredвЂ“Maybe not so much a story song, but the ending is unexpected given Roy OrbisonвЂ™s mournful delivery. The Son of a Who Named Me Sue), Sue finds Dad and prepares to kill him, Dad explains his reason for the name (something along the lines of since he was going to abandon the family and wouldnвЂ™t be there to see his son through his childhood he gave him a name that would get him teased and toughen him up, which to be frank never seemed like a really good reason to me), and Dad and Sue part ways as friends, although Sue still hates that name.ДЄnd speaking of Johnny Cash (although he didnвЂ™t actually write A Boy Named Sue), I believe the auto factory worker in One Piece At A Time who smuggled out Cadillac parts in his lunch box did eventually manage to build himself a car.

Jungleland (Bruce Springsteen) - Wayward girl falls through the cracks, dies anonymously in a seedy flophouse room.ДЇast Car (Tracy Chapman) - Narrator realizes her lover is a deadbeat, and that her dreams of the two of them ever experiencing any social mobility will never happen, she kicks him to the curb and resigns herself to a life in the projects. Scenes from an Italian Restaurant (Billy Joel) - Brenda & Eddie get divorced, realize they canвЂ™t go home again and resort to nostalgically recalling their happier times before they got married while drowning their sorrows in red wine. The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald IGordon Lightfoot) - Ship sinks, everybody drowns.

The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia (Vicki Lawrence) - innocent man gets set up by his floozy wife for the murder of her paramour man gets hanged As karmic retribution for their apathy, the whole family falls apart in the space of a year. Ode to Billy Joe (Bobbie Gentry) - Family callously makes small talk about Billy JoeвЂ™s suicide in front of the narrator (Billy JoeвЂ™s sweetheart) over lunch, biscuits get passed around, slices of apple pie get eaten.
