This is the way you accept a Nobel Prize, if you're not going to show up yourself.
You send a glorious American voice like Patti Smith, who does a gorgeous, reflective version of one of your oldest—and one of your more suddenly relevant—tunes. She has the grace to admit, mid-song, and charmingly, that she's unnerved and pushes through it to finish anyway.
All things considered, outside of Hendrix's immortal turn on "All Along The Watchtower," this is the greatest Dylan cover of all.
Heard 10,000 whisperin' and nobody listenin'.
