^^ yes, FTA was written in response to NW. That was my point.
It also happens to be one of the highlights of Blonde on Blonde, and makes up for much of Dylan’s caterwauling. Pity that it’s a joke in the end.
Same with Sun King on Abbey Road. The best song, and a joke.
So their regular work is pedestrian and their best work parody.

Much of Blake is the latter
Also, if you think that Jim Morrison was a 'poet', then you've drunk too deeply from the well of American cultural marketing industry.
