Some (quite a few) comments I read (not necessarily here) in essence seem to say that by this song Bob Dylan turned his back on his critical idealism with a laugh saying "fools, we were all wrong, there's no use, let's just accept things for way they 'are'".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448601238585270507.post-69538444945081700472013-06-05T15:32:05.695-07:002013-06-05T15:32:05.695-07:00Saving this in my favorite pages !!!

It was purely a question, and now its answer revealed to me partly with some other help.<br /><br />Anyway, it’s interesting for me to read what Anonymous wrote, as well as what Tony, owner of this amazing blog, wrote. I really like the phrase “poignant lucidity” that Anonymous used to say about Bob Dylan.

There's a tone of self-adulation and certainty in your comments I don't particularly care for. I feel adaptability and enlightenment are well-practiced virtues by many more than you credit.

So far, your blog is the most comprehensive source I've found, and each post is very insightful. <BR/>At first I thought this song has a bit of 'ageism' in it..it's like Bob Dylan hated old people and felt sorry for them. (And the image of Pete Seeger also popped into mind - I imagined what he felt when he listened to this song). But the more I think of the words (and having read your post), I get it what Bob was attacking is not the old people, per se. Instead, it is the idea of being old and..'inert'.<BR/>Anyway, being 24 years old (and I'd like to think: 'young'), I found these particular verse has most resonance:<BR/><BR/>Good and bad, I define these terms<BR/>Quite clear, no doubt, somehow.<BR/>Ah, but I was so much older then,<BR/>I'm younger than that now.<BR/><BR/>how true! <BR/>-marinaMarina, Marinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06762425523906261853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448601238585270507.post-81533454345803779752008-10-14T16:04:00.000-07:002008-10-14T16:04:00.000-07:00I know exactly what you mean, Nathaniel.

I know some listeners find "My Back Pages" a little too-on-the-nose, but as a senior in college, I often encounter (an am tempted to become one myself,) "self-ordained professors." This song always comes to mind then, and deflates whatever self-serious pomposity and replaces it with laughter. In that way, I suppose, it's a sanity-saver.Nathanael Boothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00955167382428611578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448601238585270507.post-46866698961674449902008-10-13T13:31:00.000-07:002008-10-13T13:31:00.000-07:00dustmyblues2009, thank you for the kind words.
