John Brooks Langston II	this is the ultimate song. it represents life, death, redemption, revelation everything. this is definately the best song ever written. it may be short, but if you have ever taken the hard road in life, this song represents everything you have ever tried to gain back. repenting from your sins. it doesn't get any better.

BARNEGAT BOB	In the original 1973 film preview edit of "Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid," the scene featuring the full-length vocal version of "Knocking On Heaven's Door" had a moment when gut-shot Slim Pickens realizes he's a goner and, clutching his bleeding belly, exchanges a tragic farewell look wiith his "wife," Katie Jurado ~ and they SMILE briefly but sadly at one another ~ then Slim slowly wades into the sunset colored Pecos River and allows the swift-moving tide to carry him away.... the current "restored" Directors Cut substitutes a brief wordless instrumental .

Isis	Once again, love the Rolling Thunder version, when he's almost acting the song out with those delicious rasps and cracks in his voice. Mar 16, 2006
