Well, more than a couple. Anyway, I've never liked this song, but will look at it differently now. Thank you!

That old line about the best artistic criticism providing another layer of appreciation definitely applies here. <BR/><BR/>"Million Dollar Bash" was certainly one of my favourites the first time I listened to the Basement Tapes and has stood up to repeated listens. As you touched on in your Odds and Ends post, I think one of the things that makes so many of The Basement Tapes songs enjoyable is how relaxed Dylan sounds. You can hear the mistakes and the miscues and it just makes it feel even more organic (like when Dylan comes in too early in the second to last chorus).<BR/><BR/>Anyways, just wanted to say kudos for staying with this crazy project and God help you getting through the 80's material.Pearcenoreply@blogger.com
