"The Basement"

This whole thing is pretty interesting of a listen (I think it must be from his audio book, right?), but if you tune in right here, at the 1:19 mark, the way Bob Dylan says "The Basement" is so interesting to me.

Columbus Dispatch Sign

But the location isn't the most interesting part of the facility.  That distinction *has* to go to the sign that sits atop their headquarters.  The sign boasts that the Dispatch is "Ohio's Greatest Home Newspaper".

I won't argue with them.
