The inimitable Dylan
should review some of his previous words from times past….
A self-ordained professor’s tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty
Is just equality in school
“Equality,” I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I’m younger than that now.
In a soldier’s stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I’d become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I’m younger than that now.
(from My Back Pages)
Bob was always tuned into the Judeo-Christian Weltanshcuuang and, as previously stated by Lofquist. It seems he is suddenly gettig older and more senile reather than “younger than that now.”
