Lyric discussion by ShannyH 

Cover art for Ballad in Plain D lyrics by Bob Dylan

Besides knowing the song is about Bobby, Suze, and Carla, What moves me is the core meaning of just how fragile we are when it comes to love. Bob is sorry he ever published this song, it is one of his most prolific love songs. Just true grit! And I don't agree that the lyrics are not fair.. True feelings are never NOT fair and although they don't need to be validated, to express them is cathartic. Oh..yeah..by the way, Brian...Carla and Dylan made up years ago!
