“Suck My Dog’s Dick” is funny. I haven’t heard it in a while, but I remember how much I liked the frustration (without stuttering). Like its so serious! 🙂

> Bob Dylan came to New York with no plans outside of making it in the folk music business. He lived in doorways for a while until securing his first recording contract.

He also crashed many couches in his first months in New York. I think his first steady address was an apartment with Suze Rotolo sometime in 1962.
