This is a fair criticism of a small amount of Dylan's work.

What, precisely, is incomprehensible about "With God On Our Side", "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll", or "The Times They Are A-Changing"? Or about "Forever Young", "Shelter from the Storm", or "Isis"?

has nothing to say and does so at length. IMO, the left went off the rails when people first started taking this obscurantist bullshit artist seriously.

Correlation isn't causation--but then, you knew that.
