What people think about Bob Dylan's 115th dream:

• Hilarious song! One of my favorites, very witty lyrics. Love the uncontrollable laugh in the beginning! 
• I absolutely LOVE this song..so many great lines but I love the play on ARAB/AHAB and the whale and how Bob changes it near the end to a woman (.."last time I saw Arab he was fixed on a whale, who was married to the deputy sheriff of the jail..LOL!! Flippin' brilliant. The other really cool line (they're all cool) is when he says he flipped a coin to see if he should go back to ship or back to jail..."it came up tails, it rhymed with sail, so I went back to the ship" Well, tails also rhymes with jail, so it is just a really clever play on words.
