I believe the character Virgil's last name should be spelled "Caine" as per this source [1](seems to be the best Band fan site), though I have also seen it spelled "Kane" in reviews. Does anyone have a copy of the sheet music to check for sure? Katr67 02:21, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Here is another great resource about the song.Katr67 02:39, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Whats with the first section?

But if you consider the story within the song? that section needs a conclusion, or elimination. I agree its curious that robertson would write that, and that it merits pointing out, but lets work on some better writing.

You're right. Go for it!Katr67 13:54, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Robertson vs Helm writing credits

I removed the section that claimed Helm fans believe Robertson was "pig headed" and claimed all the writing credits for himself. First, there was no citation, and second, I don't think this belongs in an article about a song. Perhaps, with a reference cited, it could be added to the Robbie Robertson or Levon Helm article(s) Mr. Wood 14:14, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

I was kind of surprised to not see Sophie B. Hawkins version listed. It was her version that got me interested in the song again after not hearing it since childhood.
