I was around when Dylan first sang it, and I thought I understood. But it took me a lifetime of experience for it to suddenly give me that gut punch. Suddenly I couldn’t get it out of my head.

Maybe this old song is similar.

We’ve used it as a running joke for years.

Does anybody really know where my math book is? Does anyone really care?

But, yeah, you’re right. Gotta kinda age into that lyric. Great horns in that song.
