I think in a way this song is a discussion between the artist and his audience with both sides asking questions and answering with questions. Consider Dylan's status at the time in 1989 after a unsuccessful decade(for him). He talks of his "show" and "record been breaking". Perhaps the whole theme is the artist questioning himself and his ability. This would also tie into his book Chronicles and his discussion of the making of this record.
