Sign on the Window isn't the Bob Dylan podcast you need, but it's definitely the one that you want! Each week we select a Dylan song at random, live with the song for a week (or two) and then get together to discuss. This week, we listen to 1993's "Jack-A-Roe."

In this episode, we explore:

• Context (2:00) — including the different names "Jack-A-Roe" goes by
• This song during Dylan's 80th birthday (5:00)
• Versions (10:00) — WGW and at the Supper Club
• Song Itself (24:00) — the set-up, the conflict, the crux, the war, the penultimate non-rhyme, and the corny close
• Does this work today? (43:00)
• We're a Real Podcast and Playlist (50:30)
• Recommendations (1:02:00)
• Endings (1:13:00)
