One of Dylan's all time best. Devastating lyrics and emotion. And the way he turns the phrase in the last line from the personal to the universal. "It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves". Although it is such a personal song, it could be about any one of us. Idiot Wind is also great because of the WAY he sings it. He is just seething with loss and anger and bitterness and sadness. It's All Over Now Baby Blue is very similar in that sense. I love this place by the way. My very first memory is of late afternoon light, a bowl of fruit on a kitchen table, a green armchair and my mother's skirt twirling as she danced me around the kitchen to Just Like a Woman. We played If You See Her Say Hello at her wake. Dylan has been and always will be the soundtrack to my life.
