Great commentary, Lachlan! The only thing I would add is to point out the back cover of highway 61: the incredible stream of consciousness beat writing few paragraphs { on the slow train...} that were a complete mind blowing experience for me at the time. I copied it out, grade 10 I think, took it to school and tried to tell my classmates how brilliantly out of this world it was, they looked at me like I had just been possessed by a demon from the underworld , had lost my mind, but that's what you got in an all boys Catholic high school. Took me in a new direction that's for sure along with the whole album. Cheers!
