      Then you get to the last verse and he shares the harshest venom with himself .
      That's what makes it for me.
      This album isn't Bob screaming "You bitch!" for 45 minutes.
      He is totally self aware, pulls no punches even when he is the target.

      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 feel the same way. I also felt that way after hearing Nick Drake’s album _Pink Moon_ for the first time... It’s kind of a random suggestion, but I would really recommend you give it a listen if you haven’t heard it. It’s an absolute masterpiece of an album, even at only 30 minutes long.

    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.

I too was 16 in 1976 listening to the live version on Hard rain, then finding the Blood on the Tracks album....became a Dylan fan as a result of this, then finding the bootleg version.....Even now after all these years never get tired if it . Such an impact on my life

      Wow! Great, passionate comment. I remember feeling that way when I listened to Dylan for the first time at 18, with songs like The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll, Only a Pawn in their Game, With God on our Side and Ballad of Hollis Brown.
      He put into words how I felt about a lot of things that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. It never left me; that feeling of awe and revelation when you finally get a fresh, first time, deep down understanding of things.
      Bob Dylan has definitely left huge footprints 👣 upon the cultural landscape.

    only Dylan could turn "idiot" into a 4-syllable word . . . but seriously my favorite part of this song is:
    "The priest wore black on the seventh day
    And sat stone-faced while the building burned
    I waited for you on the running boards
    Near the cypress trees, while the springtime turned
    Slowly into autumn"
    That's pure poetry in anybody's book.

      Jack RW Nah, it can’t be Record Store Day since they’ve posted so many other songs from other albums... Concerning the wellbeing of His Bobness, I don’t think we have anything to worry about at the moment. They would only do something like this in the case of him passing away, right? I don’t think he would allow all of this to be released just because he got ill and sentimental or something... At least that’s what I’m hoping, that nothing has happened. I’m thankful nonetheless.

    this song is probably the best song of all time lyrically. the irony of the narrator talking about himself and the narrator being as egotistical as they are is just so incredible. the way he paints such vivid pictures in verses 2 and 3 is just insane also the actual song itself is just amazing. I always get a rush when the snare joins at “now everythings a little upside down, as a matter of fact the wheels have stopped” the sinister sounding chords and that amazing organ is just something no one else but bobby could do.

      When the man I loved, circa 1983, told me he was going to marry his other girlfriend-because she seemed safe, and he was afraid I would turn him into a sex addict-we walked down the street singing this at the top of our lungs.
      However, as I predicted, that marriage was a disaster-he did turn into a sex addict, and she turned into a vicious bitch.

    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.

    Most gangster lyric of all time. He’s so great at this that he can compete with gang style rappers. He disses his ennemies like any rapper would like to dream about.

    I first heard this when I was seventeen, and thought it was a great song. then i lived a little and 40+ years on it's well beyond great. Every verse, every line, every word drips with venom, loathing, self-loathing and regret. Astonishing piece of work.

      @@abhikganguly I think there is a renewed appetite accompanied by a renewed need for it. There is a way - and if anyone can find it it's Bob Dylan. Get Robbie Robertson, Neil Peart (odd choice), Neil Young, and Paul McCartney on Bass. Superstar it, it's the one thing that people these days do understand... unfortunately? Do it right!

    The lyrics to this song are sheer genius. All his songs are genius but this one hits home. You can tell he was riddled with emotion when he wrote it and he and only he could transmit his feelings from mind to fingertips in such a pure fashion. I'm going to hate it when he goes. He's the soundtrack to my whole life this far and till the end
