Hans, I understand the ...Thanks for the comments. <br /><br />Hans, I understand the reactions of some of Dylan's detractors. Though I personally do like this song it would not make very many "best of " lists. I have a number of other favorites that do come from this "Gospel phase" that Dylan was in. (Interesting that we find the song "Lenny Bruce" directly preceding this, a song about a man whose irreverently shone a light in the power-makers' beds)<br /><br />Thanks for the note Michael. That is why I shared this on Valentine's Day... <br /> Ed Newmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12703797864648081829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9146215066182995239.post-40900729439774719552017-02-15T03:18:02.648-06:002017-02-15T03:18:02.648-06:00Fine article about a fine song.

Moreover, the childish melody and jaunty rhythm never fail to puzzle me, so lacking that rootsy sound he can conjure in his best compositions. So, the message is nice, but no thanks, give me an Angelina or Carribean Wind or even A Shot of Love. This one is better forgotten and should have been left of the record together with its counterpart Proporty of Jesus in my humble oppinion, but of course. its his album, so I'd better shut up about maybe, there ain't no going back...hans altenanoreply@blogger.com
