BTW, only Brian himself thought this song was about him. When asked, Bob said that Ballad of a
thin man was more about Brian than this one.

Never knew that Brian thought this was about him. It always somehow makes me think of Marianne as a possible target for the lyrics, although I've never really done the research to see if the timing was right.

Whoever it was, Mr. Dylan sounds really ticked off with them - and I've read somewhere that this was edited down from a much, much longer rant to form the eventual song.

Speaking of Brian, they sure could of used his skills on the harmonica for the performance of this song.

I read somewhere (where?) that it was about him - sort of.

I must say I'm suprised that many folks don't like this too much.
Beacause I really Love it, I mean when the played it Live it was a really big crowd pleaser, we where on our toes, clapping our hands and singing along with the chorous, It was simpel a Highlight !! I always wondred how a studio version whould have sounded, I don't think the Brixton version is that good.

For some reason the Stones drop the 3rd verse ..... And that's
a shame cause Jagger coulda worked the dog outta that shattering
Dylan line.........You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you

But hey it's worth checkin' out the plodding lower-geared take of LARS
from '97 Toronto rehearsals .... And dem lazy backing vocals are infectious

A pointless, unimaginative cover.

Have to agree, should never have been done.
