Talk:Visions of Johanna

message: Is it possible to put the extra lyrics from perth 1966 on this wiki page? The expecting rain site has never worked for me.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.241.12.85 (talk) 19:50, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Is anyone sure that the official album was definitely erroneously titled "The Royal Albert Hall" show? Couldn't that be a jab at the bootleggers, who actually were erroneously titling the show?
I think everyone is sure it was titled that because of the famous bootleg and it is in quotation marks to signal the title is inaccurate as fact, but as myth it was believed by those unfamiliar with the work. The bootleggers knew. :-) 
"It was recorded at the Manchester Free Trade Hall during Dylan's world tour in 1966, hence the quotation marks around the false attribution to the Royal Albert Hall."

message: This article consists almost entirely of original research, which is a pity, given the enormity of this song as work of music and poetry.  I'm going to delete all the unsourced and poorly-written speculation and try to find some info about this song in the next few days--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 17:46, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sad shape of this article 

message: Came across the following (web link here, and on main page  )
:'Visions of Infinity' by Jonny Thakkar, in The  Owl Journal, Hilary Term '07.
You may disagree with it, but at least it provides a published baseline. Bob aka Linuxlad 07:48, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've actually read that essay before and thought it was an excellent analysis of a difficult song.  I've considered citing that same piece in this article; the problem is The Owl is essentially a student literary magazine--probably doesn't qualify as a reliable our authoritative source.--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back (talk) 21:17, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

text: The piece is already quoted in the main article (qv) :-). It's probably still available as long as you take the whole archived pdf. In the context quoted, not for a definitive reading but an informed traceable point of view, Thakkar's standing looks good enough - he is I think a post-grad student of several years experience, and an editor of the Owl mag from some years back. Certainly a notch up on the rambling home-spun rubbish that usually collects in WP's Dylan articles. Bob aka Linuxlad (talk) 09:33, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: With dozens of well-regarded books to draw on for the background and analysis of "Visions of Johanna", I don't think anyone has to dig down a couple layers to find reliable information. I realize the comments above are almost four years old, but recent activity indicates these possibilities are still being considered. Allreet (talk) 15:03, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

message: Old Crow Medicine Show covered this song on their latest album, 50 Years of Blonde on Blonde. I have tried to add this information to the "covers" portion of this article but, despite several modifications, the edit has been reverted by another editor. I am at a loss to understand why OCMS's cover does not merit mention alongside those of Lee Renaldo and Kåre Virud.... PurpleChez (talk) 15:47, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
