Ok, so I just got "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme" vinyl from a local record store. I hadn't noticed before but at the end of the song A Simple Desultory Philippic (Or How I Was Robert McNamara'd Into Submission) you'll notice him saying "I've lost my harmonica Albert"


Is this a particular person? Is this something Paul Simon references in You Can Call Me Al?


Or am I reaching a little bit? A lot?

Its a not so subtle poke at Dylan.

"Its alright mah...everybody must get stoned." Is one of the lines.

Albert Grossman was Dylan's a-hole of a manager at the time.

Good track...I get a chuckle when I listen to it.

Great song. Underrated part of their catalog.

He sings in in Dylan's voice too. I didn't know that about Albert Grossman.
