Hey Whistle Stop.........I think your take on this album is a lot like mine. It definitely is not one of the "lesser works" and has several of my favorite things on it. Did you ever sit at a piano and start banging chords to "Mrs. Henry?" Wonderfully raucous and you don't need to drunk to feel that way!LJC....."Desolation Row" may or may not be beyond interpretation, but there are more individually great lines in that song than any other.
--You asked me how I was doin'....Is that some kind of joke?
--Einstein disguised as Robin Hood
--The beauty parlors filled with sailors
Damn near every verse has a line in it that just cracks me up.
