PLAYBOY: Lets turn the question around: Why have you stopped composing and singing 'protest' songs ?
DYLAN: I've stopped composing and singling anything that has either a reason to be written or a motive to be sung. Don't get me wrong, now. "Protest" is not my word. I've never thought of myself as such. The word "protest", I think was made up for people undergoing surgery. Its an amusement-park word. A normal person in his righteous mind would have to have the hiccups to pronounce it honestly. The word "message" strikes me as having hernia-like sound. It's just like the word "delicious" . Also the word "marvelous" . You know, the English can say "marvelous" pretty good. They can't say "raunchy" so good, though. Well, we each have our thing. Anyway, message songs, as everybody knows, are a drag. It's only college newspaper editor and single girls under 14 who could possibly have time for them.
