NP: Re: more new Dylan

[Thomas Eckhardt]

I can quote large portions of Dylan's lyrics from the Sixties and early 
Seventies by heart. I am familiar with the distinction between the 
narrator, the implied author and the author. I do not think that irony 
is something like goldy or bronzy and that Dylan's lyrics often are not 
to be taken literally. I know Whitman's "Song of Myself" to which the 
song title "I Contain Multitudes" refers. I know that Dylan has Jewish 
roots.

Still, this --

"I’m just like Anne Frank, like Indiana Jones
And them British bad boys, the Rolling Stones
I go right to the edge, I go right to the end
I go right where all things lost are made good again"

-- seems inappropriate to me. Can someone explain?
