And you want somebody you don’t have to speak to

The NESF brought this track to the forefront today. It's amazing. I was saying that it might be my favorite track on the Highway, but only if you don't count Desolation Row (it's more of a stand alone in my world). If you've never sat down and taken the time to listen to this cut I'd highly recommend it.

Now if only I understood the purpose of the "approximately". For a long time I took it as Dylan's way of making us question the reality of the context and adding a sense of surreality to the song. I still think it's that. However it doesn't really matter. Maybe I should make that statement more drastic, probably not...
