Answer: Jones

"Million Dollar Bash" was part of the Basement Tapes, recorded with The Band near Woodstock, NY.
2. In "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue", who is "rapping at your door"?

Answer: the vagabond

The song was included on the "Bringing it All Back Home" album, but the version on Biograph is a live acoustic recording from a concert in Manchester. There are fine harmonica solos on this recording.
3. Who is chasing a shadow in "Mr. Tambourine Man"?

Answer: a ragged clown

This classic was recorded in 1964 and is on the "Bringing it All Back Home" album.
4. In "Visions of Johanna", what hangs from the head of the mule?

The Biograph version of this song is a live performance recorded in London in 1966, according to liner notes. The song was also included on the "Blonde on Blonde" album.
5. In "Abandoned Love", the speaker marches in the parade of_________.

Answer: liberty

"Abandoned Love" was part of the Desire sessions, but it was not included on the finished product. Those sessions took place in New York City in 1975.
6. In "Positively 4th Street", the narrator says that the person addressed is "dissatisfied with your position and your place", but there is something the person doesn't understand. What does the person not understand?

Answer: "It's not my problem."

This song, with a real edge, is included on "Greatest Hits Vol. 1." A bit of trivia: Dylan's first apartment in New York City was on 4th Street in Greenwich Village.
7. The opening line of "Isis" says when the narrator married Isis. What was the date?

Answer: Fifth day of May

This tune from "Desire" was written along with Jacques Levy. The version on Biograph is a live recording done in Montreal (also included on the album "Hard Rain") and is more electrified than the "Desire" version.
8. In "Tangled Up in Blue", the speaker says that he "lived with them" on what street?

Answer: Montague

The song is, of course, from "Blood on the Tracks". The incorrect choices are all streets in Greenwich Village. Dylan's former residence is on MacDougal Street in the Village.
9. Complete this line from "Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?": "He just needs you to talk or __________."

10. In "You're a Big Girl Now", the speaker says, "I know where I can find you." Where can he find her?

11. In "It Ain't Me, Babe", the speaker says to "melt back into the night, babe. Everything inside is made of__________."
