Do you have a favorite Dylan song?

[Stone]

Most days probably "Idiot Wind" but there are so many that could be my favorite on any given day.

This is obviously the correct answer. Having said that, I was scanning the memory banks, and went pretty much straight to Mr. Tambourine Man. Now, the reaction to this choice may very well be, "Been covered by a bazillion people, and it's been pretty much absorbed into the modern cultural landscape." In response to that position:

Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow

To me, that verse captures the pure, crystalline joy of youth as well as anything ever written. Of course, tomorrow, my favorite will probably be Up To Me.
