Talk:My Back Pages

Fair use rationale for Image:AnotherSide.jpg
Image:AnotherSide.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 20:10, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

POV?
A fair chunk of speculative material has arrived in the last 48 hours - unless it gets some references fairly soon, I feel it should be pruned back and replaced by a few lines from a 'known source' eg Mike Marqusee's 'Chimes of Freedom' book. Bob aka Linuxlad 10:26, 31 July 2007 (UTC) Later - Marqusee actually writes (p105/6) 'No Song on Another Side distressed Dylan's friends in the movement more than 'My Back Pages' in which he transmutes the rude incoherence of his ECLC rant into the organised density of art. The lilting refrain' (closing lines) ...'must be one of the most lyrical expressions of political apostasy ever penned' Now Marqusee may be wrong but he's published so should be acknowledged as a base level position. I shall add I think. Bob aka Linuxlad 10:59, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

OK, I've reverted the POV, (except for a sentence, which calls for 2x ), and added a reference to Marqusee - it's worth remembering that this transition in Dylan's work is just what Marqusee's book was about, so his position at least needs to be given credence!

Possible copyright problems?
Something about this article strikes me as un-encyclopedic or at least out of character with everything else I've seen in Wikipedia. Essentially, there are three sources here, two of which are quoted at length. To me it seems that paragraphs of verbatim material from a published interview and newspaper article constitute violations of WP:CP. Am reading something wrong?

Unsourced statement
In the "Background" section is a statement "Others have not fully agreed with Marqusee's interpretation, instead seeing the change in Dylan's philosophy as part of a slow transition. Pointing to the fact that Dylan still performed many of his earlier songs after "My Back Pages" was written, and in fact still does." If there is no source for this, I am inclined to remove it. I have not come across any such statement in any of the reliable sources I am aware of. In addition, although Dylan now performs his earlier songs, with the exception of the non-political "One Too Many Mornings" it was several years after "My Back Pages" was written before they re-entered his repetoire.
