Subject: RE: Dylan picked up for street walking
No, I'm just saying that he's suspicious OF society. I'm not saying he doesn't want to blend in (and not be noticed), I'm saying just he's suspicious OF society, that's all. And why wouldn't he be? Have a listen to the songs he writes, after all. Consider songs like "It's Allright, Ma" or "Desolation Row" or a great many others. It's pretty clear that he thinks things are kind of weird out there, and he's right. They are.

I am suspicious of society....but I blend in and don't get noticed, because I am not particularly suspicious myself from society's point of view. It's a play on words I'm doing. There are 2 ways of being "suspicious". One means the way you might seem to others. The other means the way the situation around you might seem to YOU. Are they questioning you? Or are you questioning what's out there?

But just think. We could waste a whole lot of time here arguing it back and forth. We could go on for days about it. Why don't I just instead say, "You're so right, Ron..." and we can save ourselves all that needless effort. ;-)
