Thanks for your analysis. I have always (50 years) thought this song was written to apply to everyone.

I have to take issue with your assumption that you are privy to the correct interpretation of Art. Art isn't like that in general and deep Art not at all. When Dylan wrote this he was living poor in Greenwich Village and he powerfully felt the competition of other artists and he was often angry, even ascerbic about some of them. One group has an important role in this particular song, Andy Warhol's Factory. One person in it whom he had an on again off again romance with was Edie Sedgewick. She was a from an "old money" wealthy family and she fell in with The Factory crowd, and it chewed her up, humiliated and ultimately destroyed her. This song gloats because he had warned her but she didn't listen but it is also sad and holds disappointment because he didn't want her to be sucked down the whirlpool that Andy Warhol often was. You need to understand the times in which Dylan wrote this and the nature of his relationship with Warhol and Phil Ochs. which apparently you don't. Also at this time Dylan couldn't care less about Tin Pan Alley style with the 2 and one half minute length law. He came in on the heels of the Beat Generation and his hero was Woody Guthrie. You seem to need deeper context to even discuss Dylan's Art. You have homework to do, Sir.

Remember the Velvet's song Femme Fatale? Also about Edie Sadgewick. Many people were not charitable to her, a truly troubled soul who ended up living a rather tragic life.

One interpretation maintains that the schadenfreude he feels surrounding this woman (Probably Edie Sedgwick, an Andy Warhol sycophant) is a metaphor for the ultimate vanquishing of that sector of his fan base who attacked Dylan when he first started playing amplified instruments. ("...you used to be so amused at Napolean in rags and the language that he used..."

Yes, I read something about his relationship with Worhol, and have been curious about that as well. Interesting command and input to the overall conversation.

As other people have mentioned the song is about Edie Sedgewick and how her relationship with Andy Warhol took her down a destructive path to death...but as the song mentioned her past was flawed as well but her well to do family background gave her a false sense of pride and security which ultimately was undone by drugs. She died at age 28.

advice to you: "less is more!". Halfway through the video and you spent more time repeating over and over how the lyrics repeats the same theme than analysing the lyrics.

I looked at that - if I had cut some of that out, it would have saved less than a minute. The issue with this one is that the song is long, and I had to go over two interpretations. Did you end up watching the whole video or quitting in the middle? :)

The expression is "A rolling stone gathers no moss" : I think you are dead wrong. Dylan is not at all above trashing someone he has had a bad experience with (eg: Positively 4th Street, Don't think twice it's all right)

I don't like the idea of right and wrong, when it comes to interpretations. (Of course, there are wrong interpretations, like Born in the USA being held up as a patriot's song, but they are special cases.) Many songs, this one included, have outer meanings (i.e. meanings that are there on the surface, needing no imaginative thought to perceive -- in this case, a socialite who circumstance has brought crashing down) and inner meanings. And there may be no end to those inner meanings. The blues songs of the 1920s and 30s featured an enormous number of songs about mean, mistreating women, and almost no songs about their mean, mistreating white plantation owners. To have sung such songs would have been to risk lynching. But I imagine those who listened to their songs back at that time understood the inner meanings of the songs. And Dylan played with Big Joe Williams and others from that generation. He understands this. Incidentally, my inner interpretation of this song is that he's singing to himself, and to me -- to anyone who has been hanging back in their life, not taking the risks they have to take if they are to fulfill themselves.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Btw, some misinterpretations are more fun than "intended" interpretations. See my reaction video to "Heart of Gold" by Neil Young. :)

These comment applies to this era of Dylan. It does not apply to all eras. I heard that Dylan said to Joan Baez: Some day people are going to analyze my songs, wondering “what does this mean?” And, supposedly, he laughed and said: “they don’t mean shit (anything)!” What does a Jackson Pollack painting mean? What “the ghost of Belfast, she violently knits” mean? Nothing! Dylan wants to mess with our feelings -and he’s good at it - not through double-entendres precise, and hidden meanings. One more: “the silver saxophone says I should refuse you.” Dylan is telling me how he must feel. That’s it! Saxophones don’t say words. Again: He does couch meanings in lyrics in later songs, like “Goodbye Jimmy Reed” and many more.

Dylan was lying. He knew exactly what he wanted to say in his music. You don't write "It's all Right Ma" or "Tombstone Blues" or "Desolation Row" and "It don't mean sh**. He put that out constantly like a Squid's ink because he hated people wanting him to explain himself in left brain terms. You might watch the famous Time interview back and forth of 1965 in "Don't Look Back".

I think the song would have been better had you been correct, but I'm not convinced that Bob Dylan was not just being vindictive. If you go through his catalogue, you soon realize that vindictiveness comes up with Bob Dylan a fair bit, especially in his earlier work.

I don't think it means you have nothing. It's more like you're not connected to any community or have long lasting relationships or friends. That may be a preferred, exciting way of life for certain people.

The exact meaning can differ slightly depending on context used. Many words and phrases have more than one meaning (especially in English language) Blessings✨
