4th Street was where Bob lived in Greenwich Village back in the early 1960s, and he's singing about his "friends" from the folk community who were calling him a traitor and booing for playing with electric instruments.

Bob is well known for his obscure, ambiguous, double meaning lyrics, not on this one, hits you right in the face, no hidden meanings.... the most "F*** Y**" song ever. I believe it's about Greenwich Village, read about it somewhere, "4th Street" etc was relevant. Those last couple of lines are just sublime, no one else comes to close to that acerbic retort ... love it

It was an astonishingly intense and honest song for that time. It upset a lot of people who thought it was about them! 😄

The origin of diss tracks 🤣

"Like a Rolling Stone" (his best known, and considered to be greatest song, but is longer) is similar, using the same musicians. It was voted by critics gathered by "Rolling Stone" magazine some years ago to be the greatest song of all time (Maybe you've already reacted to that; I'm not sure.).

So true a song it’s hard to think, talk and write about betrayal especially from very close people you trusted. This sounds like just a fake friend who Dylan caught on right away yes betrayal but not a deep betrayal from a trusted and loved friend. Bob is smart.

There was a rumour this was aimed at Phil Ochs… who knows
@georgecoventry8441 Жыл бұрын
Not too likely to have been Ochs, I think, because even when they were not talking to each other, which happened at one point, Ochs always defended Dylan and what he was doing musically, writing articles in the music magazines that supported Dylan most strongly. Phil Ochs was one of Dylan's staunchest defenders and admirers in the folk community. More likely it was aimed at a whole bunch of people in the scene at the time, anyway, rather than just one person. Dylan was taking a lot of criticism from those who said he'd "sold out"...and there was a lot of sniping behind his back from others who were just jealous of his success...but would act friendly when they met him.
