Huh?
A four and a half-minute lead break with a horn section that was not particularly notable IMO?
How is that “heaven sent”?
Not sure, probably. Is that sears pancho or a mexican pancho? So Many good good phrases from these two greats. Very surprising some here dont get it. But that is art.

Hard to get someone who's trying to be anyone else other than himself.
Amen!
Others offer up this version:
Following her estrangement from Warhol's inner circle, Sedgwick began living at the Chelsea Hotel, where she became close to Bob Dylan. Dylan and his friends eventually convinced Sedgwick to sign up with Albert Grossman, Dylan's manager. According to Paul Morrissey, Sedgwick had developed a crush on Dylan that she thought he reciprocated. She was also under the impression that she and Dylan would star in a mainstream film together. Unbeknownst to Sedgwick, Dylan had secretly married his girlfriend Sara Lownds in November 1965. Morrissey claimed that Sedgwick was informed of the marriage by Warhol (who reportedly heard about it through his lawyer) in February 1966. Friends of Sedgwick's later said that she saw the supposed offer of doing a film with Dylan as a ticket to a mainstream film career. Paul Morrissey claimed that Dylan likely never had plans to star in a film with Sedgwick, and Dylan "hadn't been very truthful.
Wow!
Could almost hear Dylan’s voice as I read your quotes from that song.
Thank you!
Hear hear!
That's what I thought. The story has to be about Edie Sedgwick.
“Blood On The Tracks” is my favorite Dylan album. Though there is much to appreciate in all his output.
Very interesting. Thanks for that.
I had never heard of Bob Dylan until 1966. He wasn’t played on our local Top 4o stations KRLA, KFWB or Boss Radio 93 KHJ in 1964-1965 although some of his songs such as “Blowing in the Wind” and Mr. “Tambourine Man” done by other artists got plenty of airplay.
Dylan himself apparently made the Top 40 playlists in the latter part of 1965. At the time, I was in Germany, where the only American station we could get, AFN (Armed Forces Network) Frankfurt played mostly Adult Contemporary tunes as well some programs featuring Hawaiian music, polkas and Oldies. But his records did show up on the juke boxes in our local cafeteria and snack bar. Not having heard his name spoken, I thought it was pronounced “die-lan.”
Big time Musicians are pretty bad people for the most part. They tickle your ears but fry your soul. Fortunately they tend to die young so they hurt fewer people.
She also did not die homeless. She was married and died of an overdose at age 28.
Thanks; very interesting. I still think it’s a crap song.
Yuck! Horrible writing. Even worse spelling—i.e. Achilles' heel.
Easily the most hateful song ever aimed an an individual women... Then again, Bob Dylan was never unfaithful in any of his relationships, so who am I to judge?
Seems high art often deals with the unpleasant/depraved parts of being human.... this song qualifies.
Hint: He is not a liberal.
