I usually love Dylan--but can't stand this song. Odd--seems that those who usually dislike him love it!

This is about the 1st Dylan song I've heard that I am enjoying. |

This song gets the highest possible vote on a Bob Dylan song ever from this listener! A strong, amazing and solid "4".

Having to listen to Dylan for a few excruciating minutes is the punishment I must pay for enjoying RadioParadise so much the rest of the time.

All the more reason we should cherish it.

The desk clerk heard the woman laugh
As he looked around the aftermath, the soldier got tough
He tried to grab the woman's hand
Said, "Here's a ring it cost a grand"
She said, "That ain't enough"

It's OK, I got bettah.He was, wasn't he? I have never enjoyed BD the way that many do - it's that weasely voice thing. But I can appreciate: his songs (usually when covered by others): his craftsmanship to scuplt songs; the fact that a poor voice makes many of his tunes so memorable; and his general and long-held 'could not give a toss' attitude to his industry. He does what he does and I like that. Not so keen on this toon though. Where would we be without him? |

Does every song have to be about something? It's a story song. Either you enjoy the story, the images and characters created by the storyteller, or you don't. |

Quite. What's particularly ironic is that he himself was an iconoclast, yet is deemed by his more fanatical followers to be an icon beyond iconoclasm. I'm a big fan of his as a songwriter, but his singing voice has always hurt my ears, so I prefer to hear covers of his work. For all that, this one is tolerable, just, but does go on a bit... |

I really enjoy his theme time radio hour on Sirius, but remain a pagan when called to worship. According to a prior poster, this qualifies as faux sophistication. Faux So lah-ti-deaux!

I love the way he says "S'il vous plait" - charming, really
I do like his voice very much, but I remember the first time I was just totally lost, not to mention the fact that not being an English native speaker, I barely followed even with the lyrics.
As deepgaze wrote it
"Even the not-so-stellar voice was an innovation, before that you had to have a great voice, after Dylan, not necessarily"
Yes!
