colette is a bob dylan character and i am bob dylan's approach to said character, which is really a synonym for the whole world
#dylanlila.mp3#i think the main thing with the bob dylan woman is that she isn't being pushed into a specific frame#she's always a mosaic of something she's always standing in the middle of something and she always knows she's a concept#i think there's a specific flavour of kindness to acknowledging that vastness of form assigned to a human shape#because you tend to have that in songs written for women by men but the song also tends to act as though it understands its heroine#by assigning her this weight of too many almosts but... dylan never acts like he's lecturing you#even at his most folkie protest arrangements. you are supposed to Feel it not be an academic about it#trying to turn dylan into a comprehensible analysis is inherently misunderstanding dylan#but people long for clear outlines which is understandable. plsssss just experience the song though
