What they have for a central idea is Dylan's developing notion (I have no idea if this is historically true) that songs cannot change the world, and that his fans' insistence that he must keep trying to causes him (and them) much unhappiness. Yeah, sure, we say, you're right, Bobby. But we don't really care very much about...
