From the first time we tackled a cover of this tune:
Showing up on one of Bob's greatest accomplishments Bringin' It All Back Home, "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream" always feels like a breather in the albums context. It is silly, the playful Dylan, a Dylan that still exists and can be forgotten about especially when getting "deep" into his serious songs. A vital part of Bob is his playful charm, and amongst the silliness and simple word play on this track he still manages to drop some bombs, " I said, 'You know they refused Jesus, too'/He said, 'You're not him'". A great example of a level of Bob's genius not often exhibit in this series, his playfulness.

Thoughts on Cover Artist:
This RtBE's first time coming across Paul Hall's music.
Thoughts on Cover:
A different sort of cover. Very echoey and vibrating after opening with a long harmonica introduction. Paul Hart goes all in with lots strumming and swirling sounds as he goes through the crazy tale throwing in his own asides and chuckles to lighten the mood and move things along.

Oh and RtBE obviously picked this for today because of the closing phrase, Happy Columbus/Indigenous People's Day.
I saw three ships a-sailin’
They were all heading my way
I asked the captain what his name was
And how come he didn’t drive a truck
He said his name was Columbus
I just said, “Good luck”
