Comments

The 'A' side was a faintly Latin flavored horn-propelled instrumental (well Dylan kind of hummed over the melody) that somehow actually managed to hit the sales charts.  I actually can remember hearing it played on a local radio station with the DJ then questioning the Dylan's sanity for releasing it as a single.  I also remember thinking that there was merit in the DJ's comments.  It was hardly the most commercial thing he could have released, unless you compared it to the rest of the double album "Self Portrait" set ...  The flip side featured Dylan croaking his way through a rather forgettable ballad.   Amazing what Dylan fans will put up with.
