A place to talk about the music of the Grateful Dead

I love the chords/music and like playing it....a lot like Tangled up in Blue, but I do think it's too long.and freakin' Desolation Row. I mean, come on Bob, you can spout either of those two perfectly then flub "most of the cats that you meet on the street...."?!
I almost think the GD did the tune just so Bob could be proud to remember all the lyrics....It might have been a deranged form of compensation for constantly flubbing lyrics to songs he wrote (truckin for ex) and then somehow remembering all the words to Mobile.

What a fun song to listen to but seriously does anyone else feel it's about twice as long as it should be?
(FTR, I'm sure next year it'll be my favorite Bobby cover)
