“All I can do is be me, whoever that is.” ~ Bob Dylan
“Just Like a Woman” was included on Dylan’s album Blonde on Blonde (1966). Rolling Stone ranked it at #232 in their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. So, who was the song written about? <shrugs> Some speculate it was Edie Sedgwick and others say it was Joan Baez. It could be more than just one woman, and does it really matter?

“Just Like a Woman” has been covered by Stevie Nicks, Roberta Flack, even Nina Simone. Here is a version by the Old Crow Medicine Show, performed live at the Country Music Hall of Fame:
Why am I just now finding your A to Z blog?! Love Dylan.

Very interesting note about Edie. I looked up the Wiki page on her. A very troubled individual who may have inspired some more of Dylan’s songs. Thanks for the “lead in” M!
