For the record, I wasn’t suggesting the above songs were good poetically, but rather are clever or at least refreshing in approaching their subject from a different angle. Ochs tells the story of Davey Moore, but Dylan talks about the rest of the people involved. Yes, the inconsistent use of assonance and clumsy feminine rhymes in Hattie Carroll have always seemed irksome, and even if the facts are misrepresented, it’s still a good song. Yes, I know the tune is borrowed as well.
