Your Daily Dose of Dylan, Part 8

A couple of times I dropped a coin right into the slot and played "The Man That Got Away" by Judy Garland. The song always did something to me, not in any stupefying tremendous kind of way. It didn't summon up any strange thoughts. It was just nice to hear. Judy Garland was from Grand Rapids, Minnesota, a town about twenty miles away from where I came from. Listening to Judy was like listening to the girl next door. She was way before my time, and like the Elton John song says, "I would have liked to known you, but I was just a kid." -- from Chronicles, Volume One
