  68 He asks you with a grin

 161 <p>*) At this point, Dylan does something of the kind that only he can
 162 do, something different in each verse: he just seems to strike
 163 something chord-like, which really doesn't make sense, but which
 164 becomes quite right in the context of the performance &ndash; it's part of
 165 that which characterizes the performance, defines it.</p>
