Fast Paced and Funny. Straddles the line between serious and straightforward folk and goofy non sequitur songs about who even knowns what, songs that are 2 minutes long and others that are 8 minutes long. Keeping the missed cue in the 115th dream was good, it shows the laid back vibe they must have had recording this, sounds fun. I think the humor is important for Dylan, something about the ability to not take even his own music that seriously is the same quality that let him change his sound over and over and write other songs that see through other things the way he sees through himself. Highlights: Subterranean Homesick Blues, Maggie’s Farm, Mr. Tambourine Man, It’s All Over Now Baby Blue
