That's amazing. I was just wishing I could hear some incohernet mumbling and out of tune guatar playing. And there it is!

It's an honor to be the first to give this the "1" rating it deserves.

Try Playing The Original Version by the Band "UNICORN"! gilmour does it justice but the original song and band deserve some credit and airplay!

What is really sad is that I uploaded a David Gilmour song and it was rejected...and this song was accepted?

But I agree, it does demand good equipment to fully appreciate... and of course 128k MP3, while mostly acceptable, tends to obscure some subtleties. Now what I'd really like is vinyl & one of those laser turntables. :D

But if I heard it in the background at the same time I smelled cinnamon, I'd probably buy every music box and fluffy pillow in the whole store for whatever girl happened to be with me that particular weekend.

Great cover though!

Thank you Ladies and Gents for your time

I can only assume the owners of RP don't like what is being uploaded, which is pretty lame. They are being told daily what people want to hear, and its being ignored.

In small doses it works, every day it contributes to the aura of drone overcoming this station.

It's said he died of an anti-depressant overdose. Get a clue, before your audience does the same.

"I think it's *chic* to like Dylan, but he's way overated, even as a 'social commentator'. I have this vision of him waking up from one of his stupors, realizing that all the causes for which he stood suddenly looked very different from the eyes of a (more) mature man with real responsibilities and a vantage point whose childhood outlines were colored in by two little things called 'reality' and 'practicality'. Tho he's not without talent, I'd never call him a talented musician, nor even gifted. His music, voice, arrangements and harmonica are grating when they're not banal. As a musician, I want other musicians to somehow inspire me. Perhaps it's the same for non-musicians, I don't know. To me, Dylan creates not only sadly uninspired music, but is markedly uninspiring. There are a few tunes of his I like (this isn't one of them!), but even a stopped clock...."

His earlier music was definitely more political with an underlying black/white, or with us/against us mentality. However, the ambiguity of his later work (last 30 years that is)is reflective of his pursuit of more grander truths; principally, I think, his own pursuit of God. If that's childish, then Dylan's an infant suckling on his mother's breast.

God, I hope they never have a reunion tour.
