   My fave Bob tune is Floater. I could wax about the ones that really annoy   
   me: the self conciously 'long' ones get on my tits with Desolation Row   
   making me feel quite ill and Jack of Hearts making me feel pathological   
   towards recording equipment. Blood on the Tracks is shit in general; one of   
   the most overrated phonographic successes of the last century.
