I have to think he’s talking about somebody else. Dylan, in a 2017 interview, expressed his dislike for the label: “A jester? Sure, the jester writes songs like ‘Masters of War,’ ‘A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall,’ ‘It’s Alright, Ma’ – some jester. There’s no debate that Bob Dylan is The Jester in this song. When the Jester sang for the King and Queen Dylan, who sang “Like a Rolling Stone” – a major break from folk music in 1965was involved ina motorcycle accident and subsequently laid low for about a year (“moss grows fat”), and many said he’d lost his muse. There’s also an additional interpretation. The “ten years” McLean describes are the day the music died(Feb. Indeed, the bookends of the song are Holly and The Stones. Yes, Buddy Holly sang“Well you know, a rolling stone, don’t gather no moss” in his hit “Early in the Morning” but this is also clearly a reference to The Rolling Stones.
The next verse begins McLean’s great decent into veiled meanings, and much debated lyrics… The bottom line: we were young, we were pure… then the music died, and so did our innocence. There’s mention of sock hops and perhaps a reference to the Marty Robbins song“A White Sport Coat (with a Pink Carnation)”. McLean continues to evoke the good ol’ days with references to “The Book of Love” by the Monotones, and even a Don Cornell hit, “The Bible Tells Me So”. Well, I know that you’re in love with him
