Weariness of printing song meaning
editAfter reading this article, I am alarmed as to how much of it is devoted to some supposed meaning to the song. I mean, how educated can anyone be to tell us what the lyrics of this mean song aside from its author? As he has made clear, Dylan is unwilling to do that, so, why do we feel it is within the best interest of the world to present an encyclopedic entry of subjective fact in this matter? This is like telling me what Shakespeare should mean to me. That may work under a biased theater professor, but, not under a description and history of a particular Shakespearean play. Just because a source exists does not mean it holds credibility over a subject. If that where the case, Jimmy Fallon would be a credible source about the economic policy of Mitt Romney or Barrack Obama.

I must admit I thought the same. Dylanologists have long argued over meanings and probably Dylan is not even aware himself. But I can see a potential battlefield so I would leave well alone.
Also who is Caroline Bliss and why is her opinion encyclopaedic? Robotics1 (talk) 12:50, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
