Things Have Changed

"who are mr. jinx and ms. lucy?" -benjyedwards, oh and this songs is about (to me) life and Dylan, like H.D. Thoreau said "Things don't change we do", how he felt around the time he was writting this song....maybe he wasn't digging the vibe of the times and instead of singing about the "masters of war"--(the freewheelin')....he was gong to "change his way of thinking"--(slow train coming)..it's to much work maybe... "a worried man with a worried mind" to keep on keepin' on..(love, drugs, people, emotions,war, etc..) and quite frankly he's throwing all that out the window, not necessarily withdrawing into solitude, but being aware of things and how they change and it really isn't a big deal to him anymore.."I used to care but, things have changed", maybe it's a simple song with great meaning. maybe...Dylan wrote it on a whim and you have all these "crazy" critics I don't know, Dylan is a great musician... this song is great, and one day maybe Mr. Dylan wiill give us his 2 bits on some of his works, and maybe he already has...and some of us don't even know it. peace
