No Direction Home

Ron Jacobs reviews the Mike Marqusee book Wicked Messenger:

Perhaps the only certainty that Dylan has kept is revealed in the fact that he continues to perform two or three songs at almost every concert he gives. One of those songs is “Masters of War” - a song that makes no bones about who makes wars and why they do. Another is “All Along the Watchtower” - where the forces of evil and good are about to clash and there is no scorecard to tell us who is on what side. The third is his song about freedom in a world where few know the meaning of the word and those who do claim to know it are merely trying to sell us another product - “Like a Rolling Stone.”
