It’s a great song, and I loved Dylan.

After a while, though, it seemed to me all his love songs were self-centered about what he wanted, dumping chicks, cynical, etc.

There was a self-centeredness about them, rather than a kindness or lovingness.

I loved that his songs were autobiographical and idealistic. We had different ideologies. I was a fervent conservative Republican while he was singing against the war, but I was completely comfortable with his having different points of view from mine. He wasn’t the only autobiographical songwriter. I loved Baez singing about her relationship with Dylan. And dumping and getting dumped was what adolescence and college years were all about. Practicing how you formed a long-term relationship with another human being. I loved using him as an emotional band-aide through all of that.
