793 Bob Dylan (1941- ) “It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)” 1965

Emerson “merely anticipated nearly every American rebel-hero, whose early defiance and integrity all to often come finally to mean their agents can drive a harder bargain for the ads and product endorsements to which fame must, it seems, inevitably lead…Indeed, the advertising industry above all depends on peddling, as Dylan points out in ‘It’s Alright, Ma’, an Emersonian vision of the individual’s powers” (Mark Ford in Do You, Mr. Jones? Bob Dylan with the Poets and Professors, 2003).
