It's All over Now Baby Blue is another great one from that period. You might find this article that I wrote on his 80th birthday an interesting read: https://www.city-journal.org/bob-dylan-at-80. You might well disagree with it though because I think (and say) that he basically lost the muse (with a few exceptions) around 1980. (and I got a fair bit of stick from some of the commentary). Good talking to you anyhow.
I've enjoyed all your work. And I was tracking right along with your Dylan at 80 piece too. I think his story is pretty much how the rock/pop/folk stardom and success story goes, not unlike athletes or even comedians. This is the only job they ever had or wanted. They are the last ones to admit that they are past their prime and on the decline. Being an old time boxing fan I think of the great heavyweight champ Joe Louis who, when asked if he ever thought about declining skills and losing a fight, said "Yes, but you tell yourself, not tonight, and not to that guy". Pleasure talking to you- rock on GC!
