favorite song

Bob Dylan - "Sad Eyed Lady of The Lowlands"

If there is a better song, let me know.

How many winter bridges did I cross with this in my ears and a cigarette in my mouth? It's a space heater for a cold heart.

Dylan's never played it live. It has never been covered by a ska band. At least I hope not. I understand that Joan Baez did a version. I haven't heard it and don't want to. Maybe it is nice but I fear that it is birdlike with erect posture and overly-earnest delivery. The only thing I like deliver with over earnestness is my pizza. But maybe I will eat my words.

Maybe you will eat my words. In exchange for a slice of your pizza.
