I would also suggest that normal people are not anything that narcissistic artists can relate to.
I don't think artists have any special understanding of what life is about, but simply a different understanding. That is, if you can justify generalizing that much, which I don't know that you can.
A great man once said, "An artist is a regular man with special delusions of grandeur." In fact that great man was me, and really there's no reason for me to say it now, except that I wanted to quote myself.
As far as the meaning of this song, and any Dylan song, and really any song or any work of art...well, the artist may be the kind that knows exactly what his art means and tells his audience exactly what it means, or he may be the kind that suggests any person that wonders about the meaning of his art should decide for him or herself. I think Dylan would probably be the latter kind. There's a certain school that makes a big deal out of it--Symbolism, I think. Anyway, the point I think is that you can't say "think about what you want it to mean, and realize that's not it." Because, that is it. It may not be what the artist intended, or what everybody else thinks, but what does that matter? Personally, as an artist, I don't think I know any better what my art means than anybody else does. And I believe I know what this song means just as well as Dylan himself does. See what I mean about special delusions of grandeur?
You believe you know what this song means just as well as Dylan himself does? WEll I think your essay means you're full of BS. And if the interpeter knows what an author means as much as the author, I am confident I am right and you are full of BS. stop reading teh post modern fantasy Philospohy and start using common sense. as an artist trying to communicateI'd be infruriated with you kind of people trying to tell me what my work means. what kind of nonsense is this. Soory if you...

Soory if you have to use you mind and think abourt a piece of art to determine teh clues as to its meaning; but put down teh bong and do it befroe trying to tellme what i am trying to say. And BTW, I KNOW YOU are frull of BS, because (1) you give teh interpreter the right to reinterpet another persons art any way they want, because (2) any one one who would write such nonsense HAS to be full of it. Thanks! Peaace out!
Why are you having such trouble w/ the word "the?" It is not that difficult to spell. Your message gets lost in all the typos. Maybe texting is not such a great idea.
