I agree- it's amazing how good a songwriter Dylan is given that his lyrics are often puzzling at best. I grieved when the Byrds changed and dissolved. The Byrds seemed to be the 1st group that used harmonized vocals that transcended mere pop. So much better than the Association.

Creighton,

To me, the Byrds' release of that song marked the moment when pop
music became elevated to art. I'd always been a precocious pop music
fan, buying records in my pre-teens during the 50s, and embracing
the Beatles/British Invasion in the early 60s. But Mr Tambourine Man
brought the experience to a whole new level--not that I understood
Dylan's oracular/biblical take on language. It just sounded so
romantic and ethereal for the first time.
