TheThornBirds, let me start by saying I have loved your comments on Zevon songs--insightful, thoughtful, and wide ranging. Warren is indeed, missed, and he was always underappreciated.
Why the indignation about lack of comments on "Hasten Down the Wind"? Most people don't see or hear near what you do, and I say it sincerely. I wouldn't mind hearing Neil Young try it, but don't let Dylan get near this one.
The tenderness and sadness are almost overpowering in this song, to me it is about a relationship that seems it should be good, but somehow it's not clicking, the two can't hit on enough cylinders, can't relate the right way at the right time, and they know it. It breaks their hearts to part, but they know they have to because they just can't make it work and it will break their hearts to try to stay together.
I think I'm going to head over to Bob Dylan now and see if you have a note on "Stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again."
