“MM: Do you prefer songs with a subtle or obvious message?
RD: Uh, I don’t really prefer those kinds of songs at all. Message? You mean like…? What song with a message?
MM: Well, like ‘Eve of Destruction,’ and things like that.
RD: Do I prefer that to what?
MM: I don’t know, but your songs are supposed to have a subtle message.
RD: Subtle message? (chuckling). Where’d ya hear that?
MM: In a movie magazine.
RD: Oh, my God (lighting a cigarette and smiling). We don’t discuss those things here” (Bob Dylan and Michelle McFee in Encounters with Bob Dylan: If you See Him, Say Hello, 2000).
