Wow! I sure envy you your catalog of early Dylan, Rick. He was a heck of a storyteller, wasn't he? I think he was doing his audiences a big favour, actually, igniting their imagination like that. He could've just told 'em he was a nice middle class kid from Hibbing...

"Now, me, I'm average, common too, I'm just like him and the same as you, I'm ev'rybody's brother and son, I ain't different from anyone...ain't no use talkin' to me...it'd be just the same as talkin' to you!"

I would love to hear that show. Funny how he was always so far ahead of the time he was standing in, while so keenly aware of the past...maybe there's a connection there.
