bandz ahoy
Looked up tangled up in blue lyrics and two things that sprang out at me

1) "Poppa's bankbook wasn't big enough" is so great sung in the rhythm and with the intonation he gives it.

2) "She turned around to look at me
As I was walking away
I heard her say over my shoulder
"We'll meet again someday on the avenue"" - this bit, again, it doesn't look like much of anything but the way he sings it (particularly the transition from "someday" to "on the avenuuue"), combining that sentiment with that plaintive chord change always gives me chills. It gave me a chill just reading it.

This isn't really what you're thread's about. But it points up something for me about how great a performer he was, a great singer albeit in a totally weird way that a lot of people find utterly grating.

Positively 4th St is a sublime peace of rage. It’s the definitive fuck you to hypocrites and fake friends. 10-11 verses of controlled focus, backed by a wrecking ball section of harmonies. I admit to sending a vinyl copy to an ex once after piecing the bs picture together, but the definitive rendition is Garcia’s band from 1975. As a combined whole, it’s fuckin beautiful.

you imagine the kind of figures you seen in political cartoons from the 1800s. monocle-wearing cigar-smoking men who are 50 feet tall and control everything in the country with puppet strings.

It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) followed by It's All Over Now, Baby Blue is as potent a pairing to end a record as I can think of.

Written around age 24 too
