18 MONDO SCRIPTO
Maggie’s Farm One of Dylan’s most enduring declarations of independence; Maggie’s family farm is no place to spend much time – it’s a cosmos of greed and fraudulence. The family members lie about their age, put their cigars out in your face, slap you with fines for small mistakes ... ‘I try my best/To be just like I am’, the song’s voice says, ‘But everybody wants you/To be just like them’.
First album release: Bringing It All Back Home, 1965
