Thread Name: Whither Bob Dylan?
Subject: RE: Whither Bob Dylan?
Amen to that. The Establishment noticed Buffy Sainte-Marie was around, that's for sure, as we've already discussed. I think in Dylan's caae he was just too big, and besides, they couldn't quite understand his lyrics well enough to figure out what was really going on. He was too poetic for them.

"Something is happening here, but you don't know what it is, do you...Mister Jones"

and

"The naked truth is still taboo whenever it can be seen"

and

"I've seen thousands who could have overcome the darkness. For the love of a lousy buck I watched them die..."

and now

"Eden is burning. Either get ready for elimination, or your hearts must have the courage of the Changing of the Guards."
