My Back Pages-Bob Dylan (via barefootjukebox)

This is the one of  most important songs in the Dylan canon, circa 1964, 23 years old (23!), 4 records into his career, already an icon, My Back Pages is 6 verses with only the barest of a chorus (but what a chorus - “Ah, but I was so much older then/I’m younger than that now”) and already attempting with one song to destroy all his prior work and move forward to a new space.  Indeed, My Back Pages saves its scorn for Dylan himself, his beliefs, his actions, his words.  It’s an incredible incredible song for it is unlike anything that came before, or since.
