So starts "Bob Dylan's Dream" an atmospheric ballad about leaving home and knowing life will never be the same. This sonic novelist is one of the greatest artists of our time, and he defined the expanse and lonliness of what it means to be an American better than anyone, though John Prine and Bruce Springsteen are right behind him. He wrote a lot of ballads with trains and railroaders featured, in his own strange and fascinating style. Happy 66th birthday, Bob, and thank you!
