[edit] Steve Bell (cartoonist)

Is Maggie's Farm related in any way to Steve Bell's cartoon strip Maggie's Farm? Obviously, Steve was referencing Margaret Thatcher in the cartoon strip, but was he also referencing the Dylan song? --A bit iffy 21:30, 2 March 2006 (UTC)


I took out the Trivia notecard. It's a popular song, the popular response and variations of it are obviously relevant. It's not random fucking trivia. Whoever put that there is a dumb motherfucker.

[edit] "Citation needed"

All of the quotes that someone has marked with this infernal tag are found in the book I put in the "reference" section (I was the one that made the article, and added all the quotes, and the reference). I don't know how to, or more accurately can't be bothered finding out how to, do the appropriate editing to make everything "properly" cited. So if someone else wants to take the time, go ahead. --Jamieli (talk) 02:18, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

um....it's not that hard. just add the page numbers into the refs. and add a references section on the articleDarrell Wheeler (talk) 13:31, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

==Lyrics==

I have to say I find this interpertation of the lyrics dubious. certainly one of the charecteristics of Dylan's works, even the "protest songs" is the fact they become universal in there subject matter. It may be a more straight forward interpertation to say that this song is another in a long succesion of songs (the times they are changin') about achieving freedom and independence from any established authority figures. it could be just as valid to say this song is about not working for "the man" as it is about not being a protest singer. How about some primary source citations to back up this narrow interpertation.Darrell Wheeler (talk) 13:31, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
