This is my favorite Dylan song. There is a line in the song, "remember me to one who lives there, for she once was a true love of mine."
The same line is used in a Simon and Garfunkle song, about three years later. I'm trying to figure out if it's part of some ol' english lore, or if it is really a borrowed line. I love both ideas. Either way, S&G knew Bob Dylan used it. Whenever artists offer homage to another, it makes me feel gooey in a lovely way...like we are brothers and sisters and cousins, mowing grass and spittin' in different places all over the globe...
