On the back of the album, however, in "11 Outlined Epitaphs" he announced the passing of that earlier Bob Dylan. Guthrie was dead. Dylan was free, "without ghosts/by my side/ t betray my childishness/ t leadeth me down false trails/ an maketh me drink from muddy waters." Away from Muddy Waters into the wind! "A word, a tune, a story, a line/ keys in the wind t unlock my mind/ an t grant my closet thoughts back yard...
