I'm not sure I'd want to pick a favourite from that LP or from his entire work but like the Mona Lisa his eyes follow you wherever you are and the music has a chameleon quality. Idiot Wind is a great example - just one version can sound different depending on how you hear it but comparing different versions adds new layers, I love the "Hard Rain" version too :-)Nogbadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04838817425838931554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13219187.post-1140901259407084342006-02-25T21:00:00.000+00:002006-02-25T21:00:00.000+00:00God I love that song.

My favourite story on the album is "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts". <BR/><BR/>And my favourite version of Idiot Wind is on Hard Rain, with the Rolling Thunder Review. Dylan shouts and spits out the words. So powerful.laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13219187.post-1140865930318029272006-02-25T11:12:00.000+00:002006-02-25T11:12:00.000+00:00So it looks as though today will be another with I...So it looks as though today will be another with Idiot Wind, blowing like a circle through my skull :-)Nogbadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04838817425838931554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13219187.post-1140840297812208002006-02-25T04:04:00.000+00:002006-02-25T04:04:00.000+00:00Quintessential Dylan :-)Every line is a story, a l...Quintessential Dylan :-)<BR/>Every line is a story, a lifetime...<BR/><I>Idiot wind, blowing through the dust upon our shelves</I>bluefluffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12102277194196043816noreply@blogger.com
