Hiddleston portrays Hank in a forthcoming biopic. Despite mangling the title, here, of one of his best-known songs, Tom’s got something going on as the legend also known as Mr. Williams.
“Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window” is one of my favorite Dylan songs, with its tumbling wild rhymes and the intense, excited, almost-shouted challenges. It’s a song that never found a home on an album in 1965 or 1966, […]
