Willie does it on "Across the Borderline"..notice the other oddly chosen covers he does as well. "Don't Give UP" (Peter Gabriel) with Sinead filling in the KAte Bush role and some others that seem a reach. He pulls it off BTW. Willie can do any tune and make it his own..anything. He's fantastic...and he's even a better person than he is an artist

songs from Across the Borderline:

1. American Tune
2. Getting Over You
3. (The) Most Unoriginal Sin
4. Don't Give Up
5. Heartland
6. Across The Borderline
7. Graceland
8. Farther Down The Line
9. Valentine
10. What Was It You Wanted
11. I Love The Life I Live
12. If I Were The Man You Wanted
13. She's Not For You
14. Still Is Still Moving To Me
------------------------------------

Having studied Dylan's words at length I do find that occasionally he seems to be trying too hard to fill in a few lines, which appears to dilute his meaning and the power he conjures... at times..but I'd never suggest that I am right on this... in fact, I'm a moron for even saying that.

He's an amazing writer.

I'm so pumped to see him again. It's been almost 3 years I think since I last saw him live

"In some respects I think his songs are enhanced by doing so (simply reading his words)."
