I really enjoyed this. Clever parody and wrap-up of all his characters. Nice imitation of the original sound too.

WOW! This is both a winner and a reminder of years past!

This is a super parody, not just because of the characters but also because of the other humor hidden within the lines. Lyrics like it ain’t me babe, feel so all alone, tambourine man etc that took it over the top for me.

I was listening to this as I was traveling on highway 61 going to a friend’s house as the sins of the family feel on her. We’ll just have a good time because everyone must get stoned

This is a keeper.

Great writing and vibe. I've been a hard core Dylan fan since I first heard him in 1963 and own his library. His latest "Tempest" is great.

Thanks a lot, gang, for all the feedback... I suspected there was a pretty extensive "Dylan group mind" lurking out there.

And yes, Bud... I, too first saw Bob back in, I think 1963 or 1964, in Madison, when his whole act consisted of a guitar and a harmonica... and maybe a glass of water on a stool. Best concert ever... never been the same magic since.
