Looks pretty good, I read one or two biographies of Dylan by Clinton Heylin back in the 1980s, "Behind The Shades" was one of them, and a revised, or Volume Two.

Bob Dylan just keeps on giving so the biographers have to chase along behind him.

That reinterpretation of "It Ain't Me Babe" is interesting, but I've read that he began writing the song during his visit to Italy in 1963 while searching for Suze Rotolo, who was studying there. 1963 is pretty early to write about Vietnam. I think
things didn't start escalating there until 1964, when Johnson authorized air strikes on North Vietnamese patrol boat bases. But maybe Bob was following things closer than I was.
