cassius	Rock 'n' Roll may have become unpopular by the early sixties but this kid brought it back with a vengeance. Chuck Berry meets Jack Kerouac. May 19, 2011
Diana	A very addictive, unusual and generally underrated song. Sep 14, 2009
Jeft	This song contains many of Dylan's most hysterical lines, rhymes and insane poetic imagery! From Jezebel The Nun violently knitting a bald wig for Jack The Ripper of the Chamber Of Commerce, to rhyming the word "poison" with the phrase, "let the boys in" and then having John the Baptist ask the fly-chasing Commander-In-Chief the immortal question, "Is there a hole for me to get sick in?" ---the most brilliantly funny set of lyrics that I've ever heard or read.

Dylan Mattingly	The sun's not yellow it's chicken! May 12, 2005
