Damn, Richard could get LOW! How is it that the guy who sang "I Shall Be Released" is the same guy who does the "hang down your head" line on this one? Geez.

This song is a piece of genius: speaking to everyone's experience (guilty or innocent).... understated lyrics based on private thoughts about how the public can behave in an ugly way.... sung in plaintive voices. I loved this album from the first listening. Every song an observant gem. Thanks go to Rob Shefford who said I really should hear it.

Alan Weberman

what scumbag would start a rumor that Dylan was dope fiend. If I find him - forget it.

Were this to be a hit song, the entire economy would come to a stop - cars would be pulled over on the sides of highways with drivers stunned, heads down in disbelief. The military would cease to run, soldiers sitting, heads in hands, corporate leaders, walking aimlessly through hallways.. at the sound of this

If you lived in Woodstock you'd know why this song was written..

Bert Lee

I'm with socrates. 2nd best. My top choice always Whispering Pines. And very funny to read Weberman's remark. An admission that his supposed invasion of Dylan's trash was just a just a rumor. Made me laugh all day.

SteveonLI

which begs the question, socrates: what do you say is #1???

socrates1818

from 3'24" on, the greatest singing by rock's greatest singer. And that goes from the Sun Sessions to present

socrates1818

Brilliant writing here, their 2nd best song

Alan Weberman

I started a rumor that Dylan was a junkie and invaded his privacy by going through his trash.

The Staples Singers influence is pretty strong on this song, one of their best.

All those great voices gone from us now...

socrates1818

The best 30 seconds of singing in the history of rock n roll is 3'24' - 3'54". Thank you Richard Manuel, Rick Danko ("let it roll away"!) and the great Levon Helm!

socrates1818

Richard Manuel - what feeling in that voice!

socrates1818

Who wrote the music to this song?

Kalina Balina

Childhood memories...always feel nostalgic and sad listening to their music. But that's the great thing about great music...When it actually makes you feel...
