COUNTRY PIE is black humor and TONIGHT I'LL BE STAY-: ING HERE WITH YOU is a very important poem. As I have said many times, before Dylan often saves the last cut on his lp's to lay a taste of what's coming next on his more perceptive lis­ teners... "Throw my ticket out the window" (Take writing poetry out of my role—'window* sym­ bolizes 'role' from other con­ texts, most notably PLEASE CRAWL OUT YOUR WINDOW) "Throw my- suitcase out there too" (Take touring out of my role too) "Throw my troubles out the door/ I don't need them anymore/ Because tonight I'll be staying here with you" (these lines can mean one of two things; it could mean that Dylan has found something which has solved all his problems or it could im­ ply that Dylan has been trapped by a problem of such tremen­ dous magnitude that it has eclip­ sed all of his minor problems. We'll have to skip the next verse —not that I can't come up with an interpretation that would make you do the take to end all takes— but it's like I just can't say it yet—so let's cut to the last few lines, "I find it so. diffi­ cult to leave" (Dylan finds it's difficult for him to get out of the bag he is currently into) "I can hear that whistle blowin' (In ABSOLUTELY SWEET MA­ RIE Dylan wrote, "I don't know how it happened but the river- boat captain he knows my fate" and like there aren't anymore riverboats or riverboat cap­ tains around anymore since they've become extinct, so in this line from ABSOLUTELY SWEET MARIE Dylan is imply­ ing that he's going to meet with the same fate as the riverboat captain, that is, eventually people are going to stop listening to his records. In DEAR LAND­ LORD Dylan wrote "When that steamboat whistle blows I'll give you all I got to give." This was a-carry-over from the SWEET MARIE symbolism and also re­ ferred to the time when Dylan would stop selling records. So when Dylan hears "that whistle blowin'" it means that he feels obscurity coming on.) "I see that stationmaster too" ("thestation- master" is a new character in Dylan's mythology and I am not sure who he symbolizes—he may be Dylan's biographer) "If there's a poor boy on the street" Dy­ lan started off as a ragged-folk- singer on MacDougal Street) "Then let him have my seat" (then let him take Dylan's place as an underground superstar) "Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you" (Because during Dylan's 'night period' he will be doing what he's doing) So long Bob Dylan...it's been good to know you.
