There is also a song called forever Young by alphaville- is it the same? [/b][/quote]It could be. I've never heard of this alphaville group, but people like Rod Stewart and other srtists have recorded this song too. That's what dylan did a lot of. Writing songs and having other people record them. I personally like Dylan's versions of his songs the most because of their raw sounding element.

Perfect case in point:
The Byrds "Mr. Tambourine Man" gave the song such a mainstream, poppy sound it ruined it. I hate that song.
Dylan's version, the more vocal, rustic, guitar-harmonica, sound was perfect and remains my favorite Dylan song and remains the true example of how some artists can ruin a good thing. Though I have to give credit to Jimi Hendrix for "All Along the Watchtower", that was quite an exception.
