It Aint Me Babe

It Aint Me Babe is one of Bob Dylans most famous songs, written in 1964. It is often interpreted as Dylans declaration of personal independence, denying to be the bearer of someone elses expectations and demands. The song was written during a transitional period in Dylans life and career, as he was beginning to move away from the protest folk scene to explore other musical styles. The song reflects his conflicted feelings about his role as the vo ... ice of a generation and his desire to pursue his own artistic path. See more [+]
