Another in a line of songs - Joan Baez's "To Bobby" and Country Joe & The Fish's "Hey Bobby" spring to mind - seeming to think that Dylan had some sort of responsibility to lead the people ("Give us back our unity, Give us back our family" - what is he, Jesus?) and sing about social injustice rather than his own experiences. "Judas!" indeed.
"I was sick of the way my lyrics had been extrapolated, their meanings subverted into polemics and that I had been anointed as the Big Bubba of Rebellion, High Priest of Protest, the Duke of Disobedience, Leader of the Freeloaders, Kaiser of Apostasy, Arch-bishop of Anarchy, the Big Cheese. What the hell are we talking about? They were songs - not sermons." - Bob Dylan
But a nice song nonetheless, and the "voice like sand and glue" line is great.
(Oh, and incidentally, Dave: Dylan legally changed his name to Robert Dylan in 1962.)
