I'm 61 now, & still trying to fathom how such a young man wrought such elemental, timeless blues out of his (sub)consciousness. And to this day, with or without pharmaceutical assistance, I find more textured layers of meaning informing the lyrics. We will never know his like again, & I will be listening to Bob Dylan until my dying day.

I know it's just a blues in G and isn't filled with the same lyrical prowess Bob usually deals in, but this is one of my favourite Dylan tracks. It feels joyous, completely free and expressive. I love his vocal on it, and there are still some killer one-liners: "Now the winter time is coming/windows are filled with frost..." You're there straight away.

@@Skinnyorangemusic Yes it's a capo on the first fret song as far as the guitar goes. So the guitar fingerings would be very much a blues in G, even though the song comes up as being in G# (or Ab) major. So everyone's right in a way. (Dylan actually worked out the song's final version on the upright piano in the studio, and it's possible that was tuned exactly a semitone down, like many uprights are. So he may have been playing it in the keyboard's A major at that stage, which makes a lot more sense than Ab).

He has a perfect career, he is still going on, but he is a fully accomplished poet/songwriter already.

This and John Wesley Harding

I usually don't read the comments because I just don't feel the need but I read all of these. It is truly amazing how "Like a Rolling Stone" has affected so many people. So many stories & so many memories from people. Incredible how one man could have touched the hearts of so many. A person like that doesn't come around to often.

This is true, American culture

Always my favourite from Highway. It reminds of taking the train home from university to see my parents. I remember one November breezing through the English countryside, the sky was blue but there was slight fog - as if the hills in the distance were just an idea, rather than tangible things.

How does he do it, the actual song feels like a train rolling along

Speaking of trains, a mail train was the fastest of all. No stopping, bags picked up in the fly. A milk train, on the other hand, stopped at every small town to pick up cans left by farmers. Always puzzled me since I first bought this in the 60s.

Well, I ride on a mailtrain, baby Can't buy a thrill Well, I've been up all night, baby Leanin' on the windowsill Well, if I die On top of the hill And if I don't make it You know my baby will Don't the moon look good, mama Shinin' through the trees? Don't the brakeman look good, mama Flagging down the "Double E?" Don't the sun look good Goin' down over the sea? Don't my gal look fine When she's comin' after me? Now the wintertime is coming The windows are filled with frost I went to tell everybody But I could not get across Well, I wanna be your lover, baby I don't wanna be your boss Don't say I never warned you When your train gets lost
