It would have been the perfect title track for that album. [6][8] Not to mention “Series of Dreams” being left off of Oh Mercy!, too. It would have been the perfect title track for that album.

He's very influential on me and an important part of my immediate family. I basically have every CD ever released and enjoy listening AND reading about it all. I, too, go through heavy phases where it's all Bob and then let it sit for awhile. But as a professional musician with a massive album collection, I generally do this with all artists/styles/eras. I've been on a couple of big Dylan kicks in recent times. Still can't believe "Red River Shore" was left off Time Out Of Mind, but am very glad it was included on the excellent Tell Tale Signs - Bootleg Series Vol. 8. I’m a HUGE Dylan fan.

Listening to 1963 Bob is a whole universe away from 1975 Bob, and both are found in 1997, but it's still its own animal, and so forth and so on. Endless rewards to be reaped. That said, I go through my occasional heavy Bob phases and then lay back a bit. [2] That’s one of the things that keeps it so fresh to my ears – there’s SO much stuff and its so varied.

I love the bootlegs, Rolling Thunder era and such. Thought his book and the Greil Marcus stuff was brilliant, so are the two big documentaries. Maybe it's because I'm a Springsteen nut, I only have room in my life for one borderline obsessive musical following. [2] I like him a lot, don’t get me wrong, but I pick my spots.
