"Wiggle Wiggle is just a glorified nursery rhyme, and probably a hasty album filler at a guess. But then, so what? Haven’t we all written some poor stuff at some time?"

Spot on Jerry. I think everyone knows that Dylan has low points as well as all the high points. He turned out lyrics and songs like a production line through much of the 60s but for some of his later career some of his output was not of the same high standard - and seemingly went for long periods not being able to come up with much at all. Call it writer's block or whatever. He's produced a few great albums in the last quarter of a century all the same.

And yes I think he did write a lot at speed. Seemingly "Farewell Angelina" was written at speed and dismissed by him almost instantly. Baez seemingly thought "well if you're not using I am". She said that he later forgotten he'd written it when he first heard her version.

Judging him on "Wiggle Wiggle" though would be like judging Bowie on "The Laughing Gnome"
