PEPPER", THIS MUSICAL STYLE CAN ALSO BE SEEN IN DYLAN'S OWN "JOHN WESLEY HARDING" WHICH AT THE TIME OF RELEASE WAS CONSIDERED A RESPONSE TO "THE BEATLES" AND ALSO RECEIVED LUKEWARM REVIEWS, COMING AS IT DID, IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE SHOCKING CLASSIC ALBUM "BLONDE ON BLONDE", WHICH UNLIKE THE QUIET OLD TESTAMENT MEDITATION OF "JOHN WESLEY HARDING" CONTAINED A SOUND WHICH DYLAN WOULD LATER CALL "THIN WILD MERCURY" AND WAS RIFE WITH OUTRE LYRICS AND MUSICAL STYLES.] (Bob Dylan & The Band play "Odds and Ends", while Sarah Dylan floats by and spills juice all over them. The members of the Band look at her with aching lust, remembering her days as a Playboy model, and Bob Dylan can't help wondering if perhaps she slept with ol' Hugh Hefner, at the Playboy Mansion, where it is rumored that Dylan initially met Sarah. As with all such manly woolgathering, he can not help but also compare his treatment with the theoretical [and unknown] treatment of Heffy. Did ever juice splatter those famous smoking jackets? But Dylan then remembers the tragic loss of Playboy cartoonist and creator of the character "Plastic-man", Jack Cole, who Heff looked with great admiration, and who did end his own life, presumably due to marital troubles with his wife, but the coroner, out of good taste, never inquired, and the world would never know. So, remembering his days as Robert Allen Zimmerman, and all those sorrowful nights reading "The Torah", Bbo Dylan decides against this logic, and goes back to playing.) IM2K: OUCH. I AM DEAD.
