The Zombies – A Rose For Emily Lyrics 19 years ago
Might this song have something to do with emily dickinson? It probably doesn't, but she was a recluse and a horticulturist.

Bob Dylan – All Along the Watchtower Lyrics 20 years ago
I think this song is about Jehovah's Witnesses, rather than the impulsive answer of GOVERMENT to a question about the symbolism in a Dylan song. The John Wesley Harding album has a lot to do with religion and there's probably something having to do with Dylan being a jew in there too.

"There's too much confusion"

JW's make their members feel like "part of a whole" and many confused individuals are sucked into it.

The Watchtower is some sort of sect of JW's.
The "thief" might be the guy who comes to your door for money. hehe

"joker" might be originator of JW

the rest is probably really good symbolism, but i'm lazy and it could also just be Dylan rambling on shit.
