i agree with what has been said. yet, i see bob writing this more as of a remembrance of his Grenwhich Village days. he was around people of his own thinking, of his own vision. a time when they didnt pursue money or fame, just pursuing an acceptance from their own kind. i believe everybody has this kind of feeling at some point in their life. a time where they wish they could go back to because they felt pure and safe. when i hear the song, i think about my highschool friends and my highschool days, and how drugs and alcohol didnt make us happy. we just got our happiness from one another.
