The song in question was released in april of 1965. 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.

"Unless I (and HumanEvents) got the timeline wrong, and he wrote the song AFTER the bombings began, this is really weird."

my point about your timeline being wrong was, as you suggest, based on the fact that too much time elapsed between the events for there to be a credible connection.

Dylan was, and still is, a guy who will reinvent himself on a regular basis and completely reject those who would define him (Dylan) for themselves.
