I don't know anyone who can be so graphically "acid, sarcastic, caustic and angry" as Dylan. To add to Rolling Stone and Positively 4th Street, there is also "She's Your Lover Now" - classic! Don't you just get the feeling that you wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of him. Re earlier references to Lennon's "Imagine" - it's quite nice to play on the piano (if what I do can be called playing) but those saccharine WORDS? - purleeeeease. Rolling Stone is great to play on guitar (if what I do etc etc). The lyrics are sensational and it's true for me that the song carries me back exactly to where I was and what I was doing when I first heard it. Hard to say if the song on its own changed me, but the whole Dylan thing since 1963 certainly did. cheers, Terry
