I think I understand, although the message I am getting here is that you know you were wrong, as of course you were/are.
The irony with all of this is that his work is hugely auto-biographical. He is simultaneously accused of being boring because of this and fake because, well, he is claiming to be something he is not.
THe Jersey/California thing is pure laziness on the part of people looking for a stick to beat him with.
I am amazed people cant find more in his music to attack him for. When you have to go to the guy and where he grew up it feels like a losing game from the off. Some of his music is **** ;)
That's ok though. Tapping into an american tradition is fine, particularly as he was from the back arse of nowhere. If you are born and raised in the posh part of Manhattan it would be a bit ****ing much.
Also, its Dylan. He can do whatever he likes and we can all go and **** ourselves.
Isn't everything?
His real skill as a writer is his ability to make the universal personal. Which is why a song about a dusty beach road on the Jersey shore rings so true with a chap who grew up in Palmers Green.
The car in a Springsteen song is NEVER actually a car. Its important to remember that.
