It's the Highway that runs parallel to the Mississippi River from New Orleans, up through Minneapolis and Duluth (relatively close to Hibbing -- not a coincedence) to the Canadian border.<br /><br />A lot of African-Americans used it to get to Chicago from the South in order to find work. Supposedly, Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil at the "Crossroads" of US 61 and US 49 in Clarksdale, MS.<br /><br />SO, there's quite a mythology about the road in blues circles. But I think you are misinterpreting what Bob means by "revisited". Not a nostalgic return, but a revision or reconsideration. <br /><br />Which is an understatement. Dylan's "revisit", at this point, was like entering an alternate universe..trfesokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12631886869696528704noreply@blogger.com
