7. the irony here

Dylan wrote 'My Back Pages' on the album after 'The Times-They-Changin'' specifically as a self-commentary on the earnest sanctimony his youthful zeal gave that song and some of his other early protest work. 40 years out, 'My Back Pages' has aged MUCH better than the youthful sermon of 'Times-Changing'.

I love both songs, but understand fully why he distanced himself from 'Times-Changing'. To drive the point home, he sold it to a Canadian accounting firm a few years ago to use in an ad, and he DESPISES the selling of songs for ads.
