I love this song!! It's such a catchy tune, and with all the Bruce Springsteen references it rules. Any other fans?

Isn't this mainly a Dylan song? But yeah I like the "and the walls came down" part.

I remember on the Traveling Wilburys DVD, George talked about how Dylan wrote this song and how he essentially "freestyled" the lyrics and came up with this crazy story on the spot. Maybe Dylan really was the first rapper.

a-hard-days-night-ringo-8 Could that be the first time the words "Dylan" and "rapper" were used in the same sentence? Unless of course the sentence is, "there isn't a rapper alive, dead or currently being conceived that could hold a candle to Dylan." I could see that.

This really is a cool song. I picked up the Traveling Wilburys Collection not too long ago and play it quite often. I enjoy every song on it.

I've never heard of this song before just now. It's very Dylan. Bob was always good at storytelling. I quite like the song.

Awesome song!

Luckily I don't get any "Springsteen references" so I can fully enjoy the lyrics and the special rhythm Dylan gives the song with the words. I especially like the way he sings "the undercover cop".

And the "and the walls came down" part is also just awesome.

I mean, when you've got George Harrison, Tom Petty, Roy Orbinson and Jeff Lynne as backing singers, what can go wrong?!

It is one of the highlights of the Wilbury's catalogue. It sounds fantastic, the way Dylan phrases the lines, and as said previously the "and the walls came down" section is wonderful.

I wonder tho if i did get the references if that would lessen its appeal. If someone did the same type of thing with the beatles would it be as good or would i be complaining that its makes no sense and why that song was selected over another one.

Hey, I was calling "Subterranean Homesick Blues" the first rap song back in '86, Zig! (And I was probably only the 86,735th person to do so…)

I'm ashamed to admit that aside from the hit singles, I've never heard that Wilburys album, except once in its entirety in a record store upon its release. I suppose I should check it out one of these days!

You won't see me nowhere, man, I'm looking through you!

Vol 1 is a good album and definately deserves to be heard but Vol 3 isnt anywhere near as good.

Verry Dylan, although the Wilbury harmonies are incredible

Wanted to finally buy this album last week but it wasn't in the bin in my local crappy record store…
