A good hook,("the answer is blowin in the wind")the right connection, (Patsy Cline heard Willie Nelson's "Crazy", and recorded it, making it a huge hit), luck (gee, just happened to find this tape at the bottom of my glove compartment, underneath the six others - something just made me play it...)and of course, the right voice singing it(without Joan Baez and various others, where would Dylan be, after all?) and you can't be Harvey the Rabbit- Harvey never gets annoyed by anything!
