I've just been listening to Dylan on Youtube. He certainly had/has a way with words

[sandyRoe]

Maybe seeing ISIS propaganda photographs prompted this. ^^^

[Peter Pedant]

this is dangerous ISIS propaganda isnt it ?
and his words should be banned ( and books and records burned )

let the pyres be higher than the ashed of Beatles records after they said they were more popular than Jesus

and Dylan's relations - deport them or shoot them
do he have any? that are his I mean ....

righto ! "problem solved"

He was prescient in the line I quoted.

[BongoFury]

The line quoted, from A hard rain's a-gonna fall, was written around the time of the Cuban missile crisis, and Dylan said each line from the song was an idea or a first line from other songs he thought he wouldn't have time to to write while he was alive, so he put as much he could into one song.
