Elena Dempsey-González: When critics reviewed Abby Dempsey's favorite album, Bob Dylan's 1997 release, "Time Out of Mind," the song "Make You Feel My Love" was a source of much criticism. Every track on the album brimmed with unrelenting melancholy and sadness. But there, smack in the middle of it all, sat an unbashedly populist hit song, a love song... a song that in years to come would be covered by Garth Brooks, of all people. Critics argued that putting an on-the-nose love song in the middle of an album about despair and tragedy was Dylan's only misstep. Others argued that was his point.

Cue "Love Sick," Bob Dylan, track one, "Time Out of Mind." Yeah, that's good. That's real good. We open tight on a man. Oh, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, let me rephrase. We open on our hero. We push in on his face. Motherfucker, I said push in on that shit. Mid-20s, handsome, gay... gay in that cool cat kind of way. Gay like "Billy on the Street" gay. Gay like, "It's who I am, it's not all I am, baby." Yeah, that's one cool cat we got over here. But right now, this cat's anything but cool. This cat's in crisis. I feel ashamed, I guess. I know this doesn't make me look very good, but it's, uh, breaking me, and, um... Let it go, brother, let it go like a proud asshole. Let it go, let it go. I just... He and I have been together for so long. I know it sounds cliché, but I guess... I like knowing he's on my team, you know? I know, my brother. I hear you, my brother. Let it go. Well, this new guy has come along. Hmm, proceed. He's new, he's exciting, and he's so much younger. Aw, ain't no shame, brother. I know I can't stick with someone out of loyalty. And you know this. Okay, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna put Sterling Shepard in my flex wide receiver spot and drop Larry Fitzgerald
