==== "It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)" ====
"[[It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)|It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)]]" was written in the summer of 1964, first performed live on October 10, 1964, and recorded on January 15, 1965. It is described by Dylan biographer [[Howard Sounes]] as a "grim masterpiece". The song features some of Dylan's most memorable lyrical images. Among the well-known lines sung in the song are "He not busy being born is busy dying," "Money doesn't talk, it swears," "Although the masters make the rules, for the wisemen and the fools" and "But even the president of the United States sometimes must have to stand naked." Musically, it is similar to Dylan's cover of "[[Highway 51 Blues]]", which he recorded four years earlier and released on his debut album, ''[[Bob Dylan (album)|Bob Dylan]]''.
