“Most of them are stream-of-consciousness songs, the kind that come to you in the middle of the night, when you just want to go back to bed. The harder you try to do something, the more it evades you. These weren’t like that.”
~Bob Dylan (to Edna Gundersen, Sept 1989)

    “Most of The Time” is a “big song,” a major work, the sort of listening experience that brings people back to an album again and again.
