Oh the disharmony! Much like Harlan County there are no neutrals here. It is your solemn responsibility to decide which cover song prevails. In other words … Which Side Are You On!??!

In 2025, Carly Simon finally revealed that the second verse of the song is about Warren Beatty. She was coy about who the other verses were about saying only that they were about different men. We all know Mick Jagger is one. But it begs the question … does anyone really give a shit at this time?

Anyway, not a great song but it came up in rotation and I found some pretty interesting covers so ,..

Just another Bob masterpiece. Ho hum. Can’t fathom how he churned out so many extraordinary lyrics.

The Original

Bob Dylan:

Dylan and The Band played it at The Last Waltz and I thought that I had heard it somewhere but apparently not. Can’t find it anywhere and I looked in a lot of places. I wanted it because the songs that are available of Bob and The Band at The Last Waltz are simply extraordinary. I offer up the concert for Bangladesh as a consolation prize of sorts.

Arnie pointed out to me that Pete Townshend once called SOS the greatest pop song of all time. Remind me not to ask Pete for any playlists anytime soon … (insert chuckle).
