All Along the Watchtower
Joker, thief, princes
A 1967 song by Bob Dylan, later made iconic by Jimi Hendrix's 1968 cover version.
The Hendrix rendition, with its explosive guitar work, is often considered definitive and ranks among the most celebrated rock recordings.
The phrase sometimes appears in cultural references evoking mystery, foreboding, or impending change: There's a real "all along the watchtower" vibe to this election.
