Highway 61 RevisitedHighway 61 Revisited resonates because of its enduring emotional appeal. Few songwriters before Dylan or since have combined so effectively the intensely personal with the spectacularly universal. In "Like a Rolling Stone," his gleeful excoriation of Miss Lonely (Edie Sedgwick? Joan Baez? a composite "type"?) fuses with the evocation of a hip new zeitgeist to produce a veritable anthem.

Highway 61 Revisited resonates because of its enduring emotional appeal. Few songwriters before Dylan or since have combined so effectively the intensely personal with the spectacularly universal. In "Like a Rolling Stone," his gleeful excoriation of Miss Lonely (Edie Sedgwick? Joan Baez? a composite "type"?) fuses with the evocation of a hip new zeitgeist to produce a veritable anthem. In "Ballad of a Thin Man," the younger generation's confusion is thrown back in the Establishment's face, even as Dylan vents his disgust with the critics who labored to catalogue him. And in "Desolation Row," he reaches the zenith of his own brand of surrealist paranoia, that here attains the atmospheric intensity of a full-fledged nightmare. Between its many flourishes of gallows humor, this is one of the most immaculately frightful songs ever recorded, with its relentless imagery of communal executions, its parade of fallen giants and triumphant local losers, its epic length and even the mournful sweetness of Bloomfield's flamenco-inspired fills.

In this book, Mark Polizzotti examines just what makes the songs on Highway 61 Revisited so affecting, how they work together as a suite, and how lyrics, melody, and arrangements combine to create an unusually potent mix. He blends musical and literary analysis of the songs themselves, biography (where appropriate) and recording information (where helpful). And he focuses on Dylan's mythic presence in the mid-60s, when he emerged from his proletarian incarnation to become the American Rimbaud. The comparison has been made by others, including Dylan, and it illuminates much about his mid-sixties career, for in many respects Highway 61 is rock 'n' roll's answer to A Season in Hell.

Bizarre bottom hem shape
Size: Medium, Color: Wine Red, Size: Medium, Color: Wine Red
First, my stats: I’m 6 foot 1, 185 pounds. I ordered a medium size. At first glance, I liked this shirt, but after observing what the bottom looks like, I’m not even sure I want to keep this. A picture is worth many words, so take a look at the ones I included in this review. The bottom hem in the front curves down in a strange sort of “tunic” style. This renders the garment completely unwearable in my opinion, as this is not a shirt that I think would look good tucked into pants. If the bottom of the shirt was flat/straight, it would be four or five stars. As such, I’m rating this three stars because the only thing wrong with this shirt is the bottom, and this might not bother everyone else.

The Perfected Muscle T-Shirt.
Size: Medium, Color: Black, Size: Medium, Color: Black
​This is a great muscle shirt that can be worn many ways. ​My grandson likes it for workouts because the gym (or place) is cold, and this muscle shirt is breathable, comfortable, and stretchy, and doesn't restrict his movements. He also likes that it's a little longer than most muscle shirts. ​But he also loves how good it feels under sweatshirts because it is soft on the skin and doesn't create bulkiness. The color is a true black and it runs slightly big. The length of the sleeves is just right for his long arms. All combined, this shirt is a fantastic value.

Surprisingly good quality and cut.
Considering that this brand tends to be a bit hit-or-miss (mostly hit) I was apprehensive about the fit and sizing. These fit so well that I bought other colours and have no issue with the sleeve length (often cheaper brands have very short sleeves) nor with the length of the body of the shirt. They look great, the fabric quality is excellent, and the colours are compatible with a broad range of pants (you can't go past black pants, black jacket/blazer, and any colour of this underneath).

Nice feel
Special Size: Two Pack, Size: Medium, Color: A-wine Red/Dark Grey
I’m 5’8”, trim and athletic build. The sleeves are a tiny bit tight and would be unpleasant on a warmer than expected day, but for a cool day just fine. Nice fit. Feels pleasant to the touch.
