As usual, Dylan adds and subtracts from the song in his own way and this particular one is probably more interesting for its novelty rather than its inventiveness.
I've also started to take advantage of subscribing to Youtube posters. I've seen it around, but never really cared to until I found that I like the continuity of some of the folks who put things up there. It's a great way to quickly find certain bands or political items, for instance.
Interesting stuff
