One of the greatest songs ever written. I just love it. It describes so accurately the feelings we had back in the 60s. Everything was strange and new and brilliant. Music was everywhere, all with different sounds and lyrics. Dylan was right in the middle of it. There are so many good songs on his albums.

I think this song is appropriate for our times now as well. I love how loose the band is and yet the song would not sound like this any other way.

[@rohanmarkjay]

Applies not just 1960s but any era. I think he is talking about conspiracy. Can apply to conspiracies involving govts and the puppet masters who control elected leaders behind the scenes. How more intelligent people are figuring out the world is not run the way we think it is. That there is a secret conrolling force cotrolling all the govts and moving history forward. Hence the line for these questioning intelligent people questioning the way the world is really run and the international bankers conspiracy. How the masses are manipulated to do the bidding or Global Elites.Hence the line in the song: But something is happening and you don't know what it is do you mr jones?

"Hey man, that cat's not an organ player," Wilson told him. "Hey, now don't tell me who's an organ player and who's not," replied Bob, who was beginning to tire of Wilson."

I've spent the last 2yrs absorbing his first 21 albums, and what an amazing investment to evolve my spirit in a true direction. I'm a big music lover from many directions. Yet, I can still say, despite my love of 'Blonde on Blonde', Desire, 'Desolation Row' etc etc etc...I am still yet to study the lyrics. I'm a lover of Bob, his energy, and I'm yet to get to his lyrics! I'm not Christian, but I think Precious Angel and Pressing On are 2 of the best tunes I've heard in many years. It proves that communication (e.g. music) is not all about words & poetry...it's about transfer of energy & spirit from author to audience. Bob Dylan was an unwitting master of this process in his early 20s.

[@MerkinMuffly]

Possibly about Rolling Stone reporter Jeffrey Jones, who was at the time was working for TIME. Said he tried to interview Dylan right before he went electric at Newport in 65 and Bob didn't care much for his line of questioning. After the show Dylan saw him in the diner of the hotel lobby and asked him "Mr. Jones! Gettin' it all down, Mr. Jones? "But really it sums up 99% of reporters, that don't follow the artist or like their music or know anything about it, that ask dumb or offensive questions about the artist.

🎸🎹 Oct 1966 The Black Panther Party was formulated. Bobby Seale writes about this song in his book "Seize the Time". There's a couple pages about it... I'll just give an excerpt: Bobby Seale wrote" ".... in the background we could hear a record, and the song was named "Ballad of a Thin Man" by Bob Dylan. Now that melody was in my mind. I actually heard it. I could hear the melody of this record. I could hear the sound and the beat to it. But I really didn't hear the words. This record played after we stayed up late laying out the paper. And it played the next night after we stayed up late laying out the paper. I think it was around the third afternoon that the record was playing. We played that record over and over and over. Lots of brothers stayed right over there with lots of shotguns for security. Huey P Newton made me realize the lyrics. Not only the lyrics of the record but what the lyrics meant in the record. This song is hell. You've got to understand that this song is saying a hell of alot about society." Bobby Seale of BPP... Breakfast Program Power... (really Black Panther Party)

No way 2 years in Boston?? Live?

[@ilovedylan3943]

Love it love it love it!!! I've always loved this whole album but this song really gets to me. I truly don't know what it's about but I remember singing it in my head at one of my jobs... Sort of like"you know something is happening but you don't know what it is, do you MRS. . JONES". IT'S JUST TOO MUCH I LOVE THIS SONG AND ALWAYS WILL. THANK YOU!!!

[@suchapill3077]

Being a poet I like to think this song has many meanings: *abstract, situational, self reflective and zeitgeist."* I find myself reflecting on the title at certain times.

[@seanbassfilm]

Pluto girl I’m pretty sure it’s about the media constantly questioning Bob and never understanding him

[@nebbynoo1127]

Sean Bass ding ding ding!

[@MingusDynastyy]

There is no right or wrong way to interpret anything

[@jameslye9350]

Bob Dylan was all about change, within and without, how one must change to grow. Mr. Dylan did this when he left folk music for rock and what happened to him is vivid reading. In any event, Bob Dylan is still rockin and stylin and profilin. Need more to be said?

[@cristobalbarrientos5377]

I cry every time I heard this song, such powerful lyrics and music; I dedicate this song to all mr. jones of the world; who will never see and understand what beauty is, and will always be in the wrong side

[@craigmccord]

like my dad!

[@kevinobrien1602]

I had to find bob Dylan on my own. But at least my dad threw this song out for me. Hadn't heard it before he mentioned it. Definitely in my top 3 of Bob's music.

[@jazzladz5950]

And I still have that album. The original. Play it every couple of months.

[@rogertopp3551]

So awsome, fenominal

Happy birthday 82, Mr. Robert (Dylan) 💙💙💙🖖🏼👏🏻

[@edwardtracey6143]

My favorite song of his.

[@Bryanadamsmusicinc]

Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here

[@susannedarmer7875]

Yes I do and I love this old song

[@mrmrsearly3462]

This might be my favorite song by Bob Dylan, although I love them all. He is 82 today!

[@frencys_]

Masterpiece Mr. Dylan!

[@annecatherinelochard4445]

Bob Dylan, génie du siècle, 79 ans et il déchire toujours. Paroles et Musiques. Do you Mister Dylan !

[@owensoba9540]

Du grand génie oui

[@KristineEstes-zq8jo]

Mais oui, n'est pas?

[@lifeforceblessings691]

The best song ever written of all time.

[@alkholos]

Sorry, LFB, that song would be "Ripple" by the Grateful Dead.

[@Lonesomepoet]

@@alkholos no

[@DadsOnBass]

I love how timeless this song is

[@x666x34b]

This is the sound of genius.

[@formisfunction1861]

First song that got my attention. I was about 1 and 1/2 years old singing along with Uncle Bob.

[@massimo80658]

brano fantastico. album superlativo.

[@cpdeland1]

I thought the application and delivery of this song in "A Huey P. Newton Story" perfectly sums up this song and that film. Spectacular connection, as if they were made for eachother.

[@soulofjimi]

Don’t know how this is the first time I heard this, but it BLEW my mind!! A lot more Dylan in my future!

[@davidrees570]

Lucky you . Wish I could hear Dylan for the first time again . Such an amazingly talented man and so so witty , not sure that’s the right word . I mean the way he dealt / deals with the media . The “ Oh is that what you think “ answers to the question’s “ I never thought of it like that “ . Not that keen on “ intellectual’s “ ain’t Bob . It’s a wonder they can even feed themselves . A true genius .

[@chrispratt5867]

That's so cool! I'm 58 and somehow just discovered the White Stripes... It's a beautiful world we live in, don't ever stop looking for hidden gems.

[@davehunter6920]

its taken me nearly 45 years but I'm finally onboard ...this is fantastic

[@dubu2187]

Keep the faith Mr.Jones 🤠

[@Admiralex91]

Sounds so crisp and just pure

[@michaelbox4394]

Second best song off one of the best albums ever!

[@MaquiladoraIII]

After _Tombstone Blues,_ right?

[@oj_juice2933]

the first Dylan song I watched was 115th Dream and as soon heard it fell in love the song and I have watched loads more Dylan music
