 Can we talk about how Blood on the Tracks is basically a perfect album?

Bob Dylan would be a legend even if that was his only album.
It's just insanely good from start to finish. Tangled Up In Blue is maybe the best opening track from any album.

 I love Jack of Hearts but I do have to spend a lot of time telling people "It's just what Dylan did, he liked folky ballads, it was the style at the time" so I can understand not liking it.

 Joan Baez also famously drilled into a bank safe. It's said she got off with quite a haul.

Is this meant to be a troll of some sort? Apparently these anecdotes are better known than I thought because they're both described in better detail (and sourced) on the wikipedia page for 'Diamonds and Rust': http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamonds_%26_Rust_(song)
It was literally just a joke about the song's lyrics. As Bob Dylan once said: "Smoke a doobie, relax, and vote for Nixon. Far out, kemosabe."

Idiot Wind is a towering achievement, and far and away his best song.
Tangled Up in Blue is better, but it's close.
