Links to Song: My Back Pages
What you should know about this song: Wait, a protest song to his protest songs?? Well, essentially that’s what “My Back Pages” is – it is an alternative to Dylan’s regular political agenda-filled songs during which he pokes fun at himself for being so serious.
“There aren’t any finger pointing songs on here…I don’t want to write for people anymore. You know – be a spokesman. From now on, I want to write from inside me. The way I like to write is for it to come out the way I walk or talk.” – Bob Dylan, 1964*
