Why it's here
Dylan wrote the song for the 1973 film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, where it underscores the death of a frontier lawman. [1] Roger McGuinn plays guitar on the recording alongside Dylan. [2] Rolling Stone ranked it number 190 on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time in 2004. [3]
In culture
Every place this record has lived. A solid chip states a fact and carries the citation that earns it; a dashed one is a connection somebody drew, and carries their name instead.
