Commentary

A Bob Dylan biopic came out last year but its meaning was elusive, at least to me. The music itself strikes me as mediocre at best and the lyrics strangely obfuscating in ways that are annoying. Then again, the whole meaning of that resurrected folk music of the period just didn’t connect with me. I was too young to get it, and it still seems alien to anything to which I aspired.
