Its the 1960's and those of us who "experienced it" were sold snake medicine from some fraudulent snake men in Madison Ave. leisure suits.Each generation mis-uses their strong points and lose because of it.Most hippies squeezed their source of frr $ until the $ died & went on looking for a new donor.Today's strong digital world is squuezing spirituality& heart-felt emotions to death.
Oh come on. I mean, I love Bob as much as the next guy, but a classic? I guess maybe..... If you want to hear Bob spin a yarn, it's there with Black D. Bay or John Wesley Harding or Highway 61.
Whenever I hear Dylan....my faith in music is restored....too bad about American Idol...or any dance rap crap.....we have become jaded and moronic.....
My journalism teacher in my junior year of high school introduced me to Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and arlo Gutherie in 1966.
I thank God for the music that inspired us to risk everything in late 60s and 70s. When I hear these lyrics, I see hundreds of thousands of young Americans who wanted to be authenic and make a difference with their brief time on earth.
Not the best vocalist of all time.....Dylan is in the top 3 of all time post 1950's singer-songwriters.....and all 3 change places depending on the mood you are in.......
well,DHAND2112...you have the top 3 right,Dylan,Mcartney & Lennon...Jagger & Richards do not even come close,com'on there earliest stuff was ripped off from old blues men like Robert Johnson..I doubt Jagger ever came up with anything on his own..and certainly Richards did not...and ABSOLUTELY they never came up with (stole/paid for)anything relevent other then sympathy for the devil
I recall reading somewhere that Dylan actually cut like 13 original verses in order to bring this whale in weighing under 9:00 minutes. This never released on a 45 did it? Seems like it may fill half the available recording space on an old vinyl LP? Still I am shocked, shocked that Dylan always struck me as an artist who would never sell out and succumb to trimming a masterpiece :)
I love this tune and Dylan's work spans most of all known identifiable emotions!
i know the lyrics!! :D

George Starostin (who runs the Only Solitaire site with all the music reviews) thinks this song gets boring. I think different.
I think every verse is a great buildup to Dylan's simply awesome singing of "the Jack of hearts"
