Very interesting post GUEST.
Paradoxically, I do like this song it is the opening track on one of my favourite albums.
This,in itself, may be a factor. I feel my fists start to clench when I hear "Masters of War" & I have a little wry smile when I hear "Don't think Twice its, alright" ("You kinda wasred my precious time" possibly the finest "kiss off" line I ever heard)
But Blowin' in the wind...
I take your point about poetic/logic disparities though in areas other than the political I usually tend to the former.
I love "I Am The Walrus" because of its antirationalist stance & verbal dexterity & I love the mellifluousness of "Across The Universe" despite believing that song to be little more than the lament of a man in denial about the radical change his life was undergoing.
My desire to "get" Blowin' in the Wind isn't really a desire for a single simple "Correct" meaning.
Just wondering why of Dylan's entire output this song should be just about the best known & best loved.
My own particular favourite is probably "Like A Rollin' Stone"
that does not invalidate other choices. I just like knowing what determines the choices people make.
Does that make sense?
