But it doesn’t hurt a side’s argument - it just kneecaps whatever point you try to make - you go from one to Stalin in the blink of a sentence and it becomes too easy to dismiss what you have to say
I enjoy reading your thoughts but when you go to Stalinism so readily so often it just becomes your white whale
Well, okay I just thought Dylan was being brutally honest in “It’s Alright Ma” about American society, consumerism, hypocrisies and vagaries that get ignored.
Dylan also had a way in writing and composing songs where he’s not always pointing fingers, claiming ultimate, self-righteousness, smugness that he and his types are better than you idiotic dolts listening. Sometimes, maybe most, he did because it was warranted, a few times, maybe not so much.
