begone you foul beings. bob is the best. and no matter what you guys say he will always be the best. i was at his concert recently and the guy is intense! like he played until he looked like he was having a heart attack. he does not need to play concerts anymore as he is filthy rich but he does because it is what he likes to do. he does not give a shit about what anyone else thinks of him. purely respectable dude imho.

ROCK ON BOB!....

I'm sorry, it's time the old man hung up his hat. He's not getting any better. "Time out of mind" was a good album but a frind of mine put it best when I was complaining that Bob's music and performances just suck these days. He said that Dylan has lost his sense of humor. Too true - he has - sadly. He should make like M*A*S*H and stop while he's still one of the all-time greatest.

Suddenly had to think of the persiflage Frank Zappa once gave of Bob Dylan.
He asks the bandmember who's playing Dylan; 'wanna buy some acid Bob?', just after "Bob" has done some really dreadful singing and harmonica playing

While I really enjoy the mystical quality of the Hendrix recording of this song, the definitive version for me is still the original, on the John Wesley Harding album. Dylan's style in that version is a sort of lamentation. He deftly weaves this this modern day parable with a wistfulness that is not over the top like so many who have come since. RP, play that version, if you please!!!

Totally agree with the comments about Jimi's cover.
When you want to ear this song, just play the Hendrix version. It's great.

great tune. ONce I got over the "voice" thing with Dylan he became my favorite and now even appreciate it.

Hendrix was hugely influenced by him and wished he wrote this song, but I admit Hendrix version is very powerful.

Bob deserves monstro credit for writing it, but as long as Jimi's performance exists, why does anyone else, including Bob, even try?
