Agreed, Spaw...there are simply too many. But I thought it would be interesting to see what people would say.

Matt - Nice picks! Pretty damn good for a recent convert to Dylan. I'm impressed, though I don't agree with your rating of "Sad-Eyed Lady"...I think it's very beautiful and full of remarkable poetic images. It was about Sarah Dylan, apparently, though Joan Baez apparently thought it was about her (at one time she did, anyway). I wouldn't be surprised if it was about both of them in some degree or another, as well as about Bob himself.

You are dead right about "Suze (The Cough Song)"...that, I believe, is the shortest...if you could call it a song at all.

I think the longest is...SURPRISE!...not "Sad-Eyed Lady", but "Highlands" (off the album "Time Out of Mind"). Then too, it might be "Brownsville Girl", but I still think it's "Highlands".

My vote for least comprehensible is "Yea, Heavy, and a Bottle Of Bread". Hard to say what the hell it's about.

"Golden Loom" is an excellent choice for most mystical. My vote for that one might be "Angelina" or even "Jokerman", but it's a tough choice to be sure.
