YUP, some say ,"You can only cut a person down with cuss words." haha, Dylan does NOT cuss, he is so eloquent, "I notice at the ceremony, ur corrupt ways have finally made u blind, I can't remember your face anymore, ur mouth has changed, ur eyes don't look into mine." Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy, I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory and all your raging glory! I've been doublecrossed for the very last time, Now I'm finally free! I kiss goodbye to the howling beast, on the borderline that separates you from me! I think our favorite male singer had a narcissist in his life. Sounds like she died and he, walking late at night remembering her in good times and her full of hate with that raging glory, to him she is on the border of being a woman and a howling beast. It is like you have to really go thru some rough times to know what B.Dylan is saying. And then, Along comes, 'To Ramona'

"I can't help it if I'm lucky". The delivery of this lyric is amazing

The first time I heard this song, I was 16 and lying on my living room floor watching the Hard Rain special on TV. Awestruck! About 2 verses in, I literally jumped up off the floor and shouted in the empty room, "There is no f*cking way ANYBODY is writing songs this good!!!!" It literally changed my life right then and there. It woke me up TO life. Like many people in the comments below, I immediately got the album and listened to this song over and over and over again.....for months! Years! I've played it in the bars when I did that kinda thing. I listen to it now, decades later, and get tears. Even tears reading the comments here. We have all been fortunate enough to see, hear, and experience this once-in-a-millenium Shakespeare among us, in our lifetimes. And I know I am deeply enriched because of that.

However, as I predicted, that marriage was a disaster-he did turn into a sex addict, and she turned into a vicious bitch. I can’t help it if I’m lucky…

I will always love Bob Dylan....Everytime I hear his songs, I think of my teenage years. God Bless him for all of those precious songs that still mean so much to me. Retired and in my sixties now but between him, Gordon Lightfoot, and John Prine, will never forget.

This song is perhaps the greatest example of how Dylan is able to transmute personal experience into something of universal significance. It is impossible to do justice to the emotional complexity it contains - anger, bitterness and great sorrow are inextricably intertwined, and there is, in the last verse, more than a hint of reconciliation. The three recorded versions (the original NY one, the BooT one, and the Hard Rain live version) put the emphasis on different emotions, and I have heard a much later live concert which puts the emphasis on reconciliation.

I love how he adds "sweet lady" before calling her an idiot.

Yeah, Positively 4th Street and Like a Rolling Stone are amazing "fuck you" songs. I didn't really get Idiot Wind when I was younger. Now that I've been through a couple break-ups, I get it.

What a force of words, it rolls over you like a tsunami--breathless, deeply hurt

4:18 I love how he changes his voice like that for the "I can’t remember your face anymore," line, he sounds drained and tired.

Another lyric that Dob just nailed. I reckon so many know someone who fills these lyrics perfectly!

This song greatly illustrates the fact that, even when our loved and trusted ones do us completely wrong, we are usually partially to blame in some way, no matter how small: "I kissed goodbye the howling beast On the borderline which separated you from me". Notice that there is not some giant chasm or canyon which separated them. It's just a borderline. He is very nearly as bad as her. If that line wasn't a clear enough admission of guilt or at least personal responsibility, Bob leaves no doubt about his own contribution to the failed relationship at the end of the song: "Blowing through the dust upon our shelves We're idiots, babe It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves".

One of his best, if not best, vocal performances.

A voz inconstante, frágil e ao mesmo tempo decidida, agressiva e forte do Dylan nessa música me arrebata toda vez q ouço. A forma como ele fala "Idiot Wind" no refrão consegue quase passar a dor dele pra quem ouve. Tem q ter sensibilidade pra sentir o que o Dylan quis passar nessa musica. Ela me arrepia sempre, a letra irretocável e amarga, a interpretação atropelada, é uma obra prima.
