I'm curious if that may have been done because of his conversion to Christianity. He may not have felt comfortable with the old lyric any more, as people may mistake the "commander in chief" as being Jesus. <br /><br />I don't think that was ever the case though. I think the CIC was supposed to be the President, and John the Baptist represented the patriotic Christians who blindly looked up to their leader the President, who had wrapped himself in a fake, political version of Christianity.<br /><br />At any rate this song is brilliant. In fact, it was the song that helped me "discover" Dylan at the age of 34. The man is a genius and I only wish I had discovered him earlier.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9146215066182995239.post-25125672895376237362014-03-29T06:10:52.060-05:002014-03-29T06:10:52.060-05:00Anon: That's why I compare to Dali here and tr...Anon: That's why I compare to Dali here and tried to avoid going too far in interpretation on this one.<br /><br />Anthony: Yes, you are right and I have seen this a lot on bobdylan.com where the words and the recording don't jive.
