It is So satifying to see (young?) people still discovering the classic rockers!

This song was written, and first performed, by Bob Dylan….and it’s hard to tell what any of his songs are about. I think it’s anyone’s guess!

I never really knew. I just liked it. Bob Dylan wrote it. Better ask him.

All Along the Watchtower, with lyrics derived from the Book of Isaiah (21:5–9). The song was later recorded by Jimi Hendrix, whose celebrated version Dylan himself acknowledged as definitive in the liner notes to Biograph. Dylan live has performed Hendrix’s arrangement since 1974

He’s signifying that we (being the people of the us) are constatly watched by the man or government. The wildcat is other countries, opposing forces to the government. They may sound bad and Intice us to go after them, but they are just there. Also, the part where it says come drink my wine and dig my herb is saying come and know me, be me before we are judged.

It’s about the time Jimi got really high, accidentally locked himself in a closet, and was attacked by his own cat.
