Don't get me wrong, I love Dylan, a LOT. But as soon as I pressed play my only impulse was to laugh. This scores very high on my unintentional comedy scale.
OK, Dylan haters: ATTACK with all you've got. It'll be my pleasure to logically and kindly prove to you that whatever Dylan does is beyond scrutiny. GO!
@depardoo: I had to look this up on YouTube, since I was unaware Dylan covered Led Zepp. He did turn it into a cheery pub jig, didn't he! It's completely unrecognizable. Plus, whatever Dylan covers becomes Dylan property, to do with as he pleases. QED + cheeri-o.
Of course, Zep's version was a cover, too. From Wikipedia: " 'When the Levee Breaks' is a blues song written and first recorded by husband and wife Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929. The song is in reaction to the upheaval caused by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927." #bobdylan
Since 1988, my family has decorated the Christmas tree listening to Peter, Paul and Mary's holiday concert from Radio City. And this December I'll probably tear up just as much as I am tonight.
And also Henry Gibson died tonight, of Laugh In fame and Blues Brothers and Boston Legal.
So, uh, one swallow doth not a summer make but I think we are having a trend perhaps; she was 72 and I think he was 73. Hardly old timers, really.

Truedat, except I think he butchered "When the Levee Breaks". Too uptempo.

Rest in peace, dear Mary.
