This chapter is probably my first attempt at using the language of functional harmony to interpret the harmonic content of a Dylan song. It may not be my best attempt, and it is probably too much of a torso to merit inclusion, were it not for its status as the first.

This text was the outcome of an initial attempt to define a field of study for an analytically oriented approach to popular music. It was meant for a volume I was planning to write together with the eminent Canadian scholar and musician Mike Daley. The book never happened, but the chapter still remains, and it works quite well as an introduction to this volume as well.
