hahaha

a lot of people who like dylan would say they don't like his voice...which i can understand, and those who don't listen to a lot of his music tend not to notice the subtleties of what he does ... oh well

i think it's great

It's Bob Dylan, and it's one of his best songs - of course it's fantastic, and he has/had one the best voices in music. I think I like Tangled Up in Blue best of his songs on a random note.

Tangled Up in Blue is currently my favourite too. Beautiful song.

I think Dylan's amazing. This was the first song of his I heard, and the lyrics...amazing. The music...amazing beyond amazing. The strains of his harmonica are just so unique, especially in this song. Dylan's voice is the only voice I can ever imagine singing his songs -- he has a beautifullly unpredictable way of slurring his words and holding on; someone with a "perfect" way of singing wouldn't be able to do that, imho.

EDIT: NO! >:O I must rave about him more! It's just so distinctive and so trademark-Dylan, innit? His voice. His lack (until the latter years anyway) of electric gee-tar. His loverly little harmonica. You can just always KNOW it's Dylan, and it's beautiful when it's like that. ^_^

It's a great song, but it just isn't weird enough. I prefer "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again".

One of the better pop songs of the 20th century, I'd say. I love that line about how "you used to ride on your chrome horse with your diplomat who carried on his shoulders a siamese cat" and "You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used"

Yes, Bob Dylan was a genius. He's definetly the best popular musician of the 20th century in my mind.

Tangled Up in Blue is currently my favourite too.

Every word in that song glows like burning coal.

the song (rolling stone) is supposedly about Edie Sedgwick, an Andy Warhol acolyte who fell out of high society with drug problems and whatnot.

stuck inside of mobile is so great. I love the lines "An' here I sit so patiently/Waiting to find out what price/You have to pay to get out of/Going through all these things twice."
