Mr Tambourine Man

Bob Dylan's song "Mr. Tambourine Man" has been one of my favorites for a very long time. The words seem so innocent, but are really very deep. Though Dylan has never said so himself, the most common interpretation of the song is that it's about the use of drugs to escape from reality. Tambourine man is not only an old fashioned term for a drug dealer, but also what they call the man that leads the funeral procession in New Orleans.
