Thirteenth Floor Elevators version of "It's All Over Now (Baby Blue)" is one of my all time favorite Dylan covers. That Joyce Carol Oates short story is really good too, that was a story that I got assigned in freshman lit in collage and really liked.

heh Love Minus Zero feels like coffee shop autopilot to me, one of the least impressive tracks on the album (shrug emoji)

But one of the very, very few Dylan songs where he sounds entirely guileless, a pure and beautiful emotion expressed in exquisite language. Undoes me every time.

has there been a Dylan vs Rage Against the Machine “Maggie’s Farm” poll?

Surprised "Mr Tambourine Man" didn't get more votes. Though I voted for LMZ so I'm not complaining.

that's a great cover by Nelson, Dylan probably appreciated it (iirc he has only nice things to say abt Nelson in Chronicles)

I'd choose She Belongs to Me over LMZ, I think Dylan does the cynical love portrait better than the sincere, also I just love the melody

both rule though

well, maaaybe Dylan's fondness for wordplay amphetamine gets the best of him in the 3rd verse
