The idea was originally by Andy Aaron (i think) and after listening to quite a few Dylan tracks myself I decided to eloborate on the idea.
The concept is to take a line from part 1 and pick and choose in any order another line from both Part 2 & 3. Then see if they make more sense than the original.
Fun hey?
