Just discovered this song recently and it may just be the best thing I've ever heard. In my opinion Dylan at his finest.

If you don't know it you can find it here (http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=gD0V-MC1GUo).

In a lot of ways it's more like a story than a song, the amount of things it touches on is amazing.

Anyone else a fan?

Definitely a fan. Probably the best Dylan song for me, and I deem myself a hardcore Dylan fan. The way it's rendered in Blood on the Tracks is awesome, an amazing voicing, intonation, the arrangements... And the lyrics, of course.

I like to think of the Wilburies' Tweeter and the Monkey Man as the other side of the same coin.

A Dylan great to be sure. One of my favorite songs off of one of my favorite albums.

It's no "Desolation Row", but definitely one of my favourite songs of his. It's a folksy tale, but it's the way he pulls it off, in that sort of saloon style, that makes it awesome.
