Recording
Wikipedia: Bob Dylan began to record the Blonde on Blonde album in New York in October 1965. Frustrated by the slow progress in the studio, Dylan agreed to the suggestion of his producer Bob Johnston and moved to Columbia's A Studio on Music Row, Nashville, Tennessee, in February 1966. Bringing with him Robbie Robertson on guitar and Al Kooper on keyboards, Dylan commenced recording with the cream of Nashville session players.

On February 15, the session began at 6 p.m., but Dylan simply sat in the studio working on his lyrics,while the musicians played cards, napped, and chatted. Finally, at 4 a.m., Dylan called the musicians in and outlined the structure of the song.Dylan counted off and the musicians fell in, as he attempted his epic composition, "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands". Drummer Kenny Buttrey recalled, "If you notice that record, that thing after like the second chorus starts building and building like crazy, and everybody's just peaking it up 'cause we thought, Man, this is it...This is gonna be the last chorus and we've gotta put everything into it we can. And he played another harmonica solo and went back down to another verse and the dynamics had to drop back down to a verse kind of feel...After about ten minutes of this thing we're cracking up at each other, at what we were doing. I mean, we peaked five minutes ago. Where do we go from here?" The finished song clocked in at 11 minutes, 23 seconds, and would occupy the entire fourth side of the album. Four takes of the song were completed, but were mainly rehearsals; take 2 is also interrupted.

@ChrisYates11: Mark Cuban is WRONG Here re: "Fans will turn away from 'greedy' NFL."

Allan Smithee: Anytime you're quoted disagreeing with Mark Cuban on a national stage is a WIN in caps!!

AS: If NFL goes to 18 games per season might be a match with MLB but WAY MORE DANGEROUS FOR NFL PLAYERS.

@ChrisYates11: MLB season too long.

AS: Why MCuban wrong. If NFL folds 10 yrs cause brain injury suits. Not that NFL on tv Sat Sun Mon Thurs.

@ChrisYates11: NFL too powerful. Yes you are right. Brain injuries bigger threat.

AS: MCuban comes from owner perspective. "Oh No. Sports gonna die cause of overexposure!! Let me cry into my billions of $$$. Injuries?? Players well compensated!!"

@ChrisYates11: Absolutely.
