Subject: RE: Favorite Versions of Dylan Songs
Whistle Stop, I guess I should have appended an emoticon indicating irony on my Turtles comment. Actually, I liked the Turtles, but that kind of pop wasn't the best format for Bobby D.

I did like the Byrds doing My Back Pages, and evidently so did Dylan, since McGuinn led off the finale at the 30th Anniversary concert that featured Bob, Bruce, Eric, Tom et al, with his trademark Rickenbacker lick. The other Byrds version of a Dylan tune that I thought definitive was You Ain't Goin Nowhere from Sweetheart of the Rodeo.
