Unless I (and HumanEvents) got the time line wrong, and he wrote the song AFTER the bombings began, this is really weird. Check out the following lyrics from the Dylan tune. It almost seems like he knew in advance what Ayers and company were planning. Yet Dylan claims today he wasn’t even in to the radical politics of the sixties and seventies.

I report, you decide.

The song in question was released in april of 1965. You can look it up.
Ayers and company did not use bombs until, what, 1969?
You got the timeline wrong, all right.
I was saying that my timeline would have been wrong if he wrote the song AFTER the bombings. He did not. ie, "wrong" = "he wrote the song AFTER the bombings began".
As it turned out there probably isn't anything weird about it at all, since the song was *probably* about drugs or something else altogether. Plus, as you point out, it was apparently written several years before the bombings began, although that doesn't necessarily mean he wasn't sympathetic towards the revolutionary movement.
