Had this song been on THE BASEMENT TAPES, it would have been praised as a paean to rural life, rather than scorned as a piece of puffery.Reinaldo Garciahttp://www.reinaldogarcia.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448601238585270507.post-76433365076401573332009-07-15T08:20:26.970-07:002009-07-15T08:20:26.970-07:00What Marcus missed was that his own expectations t...What Marcus missed was that his own expectations themselves limited Dylan's "freedom of creativity." Nashville was, I think, designed to beat back the crowd and give the man elbow room.
