I think I've heard that song. Interesting what you point out, although I'm not moved to admit what you claim I have to admit. I think the lines are awkward and the writing kind of crude, like Dylan generally. For example, writing "did growl" rather than "growled" in an attempt to add more feet to the line is highschool level. Given all that, the imagery is far more interesting than in the typical rock song, which makes one perk up on first hearing.
- cuboidGoat 8y agoI'd assume 'wildcat did growl' was chosen for for the use of staccato to create rhythm from the consonants, which would be absent with 'wildcat growled', rather than to add more feet to the line, but hey, we are just layering ephemera on ephemera here.
