      Nothing like sitting around a dining table clustered with elderly people while this fucking song plays, as the nursing home’s staff is too busy feeding patients to change the station. There I was, spoon-feeding someone’s paralyzed grandma, as this song played on. So uplifting.

          Oh, I don’t mind the genre and enjoy it from time to time. GnR used to drag Knocking on Heaven’s Door out for like 10 minutes live and at some point Axl shouted “gimme some REGGAE” and they went into it for a minute. Like just about everything GnR … fucking ridiculous.

          And I say that as someone who absolutely considers them a major touch point in my life’s musical journey.

        I love gnr and hate it too. Dunno. I like the original Dylan. And Dylan doing his own songs is usually the worst.

        It was cool when I was 14 and didn’t know shit about Bob Dylan or the song. But 35 years on…you just better start stamping your own rank certification, Jack, because it’s just you against your tattered libido, the bank, and the mortician forever, man, and it wouldn’t be luck if you got out of life alive.

        Anyway, by no means the worst cover ever, but it’s just kind of fucking goofy.

        I can’t do the vocals. It’s hard to believe that it’s earnest and not just making fun of the song.
