This was the first song I ever heard by Dylan — in my mid-teens — completely blown away it began a lifelong relationship with this man's art, which to this day remains at the very top of my list. (The only other one who for me fully dwells in that special realm of artist/musician/poet is Leonard Cohen.

Van Morrison does on ocaasion get his foot in the door, as do a few other.)

PS The US version of the Animals 45rpm was cut by a whole verse/minute. Dastardly.

Thanks for this history!
