This is funny. It's a slight dig at those folks (of which I'm sure the author is one, or the self-effacing sort) who want every one of Bob's incoherent ramblings to be 'deep'.

"Because I grew up in a world where nothing that Mr. Dylan ever did was too insignificant not to be worthy of serious intellectual scrutiny, I immediately understood that this was no ordinary, haphazardly arranged, string of colored lights. It had to contain a deeper meaning."

A lot of Bob's work is the intellectual equivalent of a paltry string of Christmas lights. Your outlook with figure if that's an insult or a compliment.

Well, thanks for clarifying!

I enjoy satire and sarcasm; but I found the parody of "dylanologists" weak enough that maybe that was how he actually thought. And anyway, is that really still a thing? So I doubted that he was trying to pastiche something we've all thought was silly for a couple of decades.

Perhaps I have a sense-of-humour defect; maybe I just didn't get it.
