If I can confess, I'm a big-time Dylan fan but first heard this song while at the movie's watching I'm Not There, instantly it struck a chord with me and I can remember driving home and downloading the song instantly. And being a dylan fan like many others I listened over and over and each timne getting a new pesrpective. Before I give my opinion I think its pretty sad that this song only gets 7 replies when it is in EVERY SENSE, A MASTERPIECE. Every stanza, every line, every change of tone and inflection in his voice, every thing you can pick apart in this song is perfect, to me. And I think how Dylan truly transcends time, because despite maybe "bootlegged whiskey" this song means as much today as it did when he wrote it. For me the most amazing part is the irony, how a blind man can sing/see the blues better than anyone who truly witnesses all the dissaray. Like I said I am big fan but this song did something as it did when the first time I heard "Visions Of Johana", or the first time I bought "Highway 61 Revisited". I think Dylan is 68 or something close to that but its so sad how everyone in the music industry totally pales in comparison to him STILL, and I'm a 30 year old guy who does have a wide array of musicians I like but Nobody can hold a candle to Dylan, Yesterday or today. But Go on, go buy your nickelback or Justin Timberlake bull shit, or better yet anything hip hop, go get your generic poetry while we bathe in the light of the master.

@TomThumb681 I take the fact that so many great songs don’t have many comments as meaning I have exceptional taste lol.
