Really a "classic" here in central NC... that has sorta' run it's course for most (don't request it at a concert, unless you want to be that guy). However, they play it leaving the football games, and has become a bit of a joke to longtime Pack fans as well. Great tune though, with a lot of history if you google the author(s).
Good to know Cool back story with Dylan.
To be honest, I've had enough of it already
I mean - "Friends In Low Places" still sounds awesome when a bunch of KSU fans sing it together at a tailgate, but I couldn't play it in the car driving to work LOL.

Brain: Click it. Click the link.
John: ...bout that.
Brain: I notice you haven't clicked the fxxxing link yet. Let me do it for you.
John: What the duece??? I don't WANT to hear this damn song.
Brain: That's what you get for trying to quiet me with alcohol. Enjoy your earworm, JV.
Educational medical note!
Personal note - I long thought that I was under aural attack by my brain. I would go for weeks repeating the worst parts of the worst songs in my head, no matter what I was doing. It even happened while on stage playing music. Quite frustrating over the decades. Sleep was often impossible to come by. I eventually learned that singing (to myself...god forbid somebody actually hear me) the old Eddie Murphy/Rick James chestnut "My Girl Wants To Party All the Time" would often disrupt my evil brain and stop the earworm. This is still one of the only solutions I've found to the problem other than eliminating mental stress as much as possible. I know, right? Like a guy who knows the words to that song doesn't have bigger mental fish to fry? True story. Now back to our regularly scheduled thread...
I will need to drink some beer to understand this "riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma" - although it may be one of life's great mysteries.
I may be over thinking this - is it @JohnVee humor or a cautionary tale? . . . . . . .or both . . . ..oh crap . . . its on me . . . . . . .

Pretty big Wilco fan myself. Was BIG into Uncle Tupelo back in the mid-90's and followed Tweedy and Farrar (Son Volt) after they broke up. I was initially way more drawn to Son Volt, but over the years that shifted more towards Wilco. Thanks for posting this... IIRC, this is one of the Arlo Guthrie songs that Tweedy and Billy Bragg recorded. They were from lyrics that his daughter? found that hadn't been previously set to music.
ETA - Woody, not Arlo. Brain fart.
