ew years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand;sorry i didnt want that happening to me

I think he was talking about Lennon w/ Lenin being part of the word play. It just seems to fit the context of the song better. But who knows? Interp is usually tough w/ lyrics.

Hi Friends,
I've been working on a new blog called "DylanTube - The best Bob Dylan videos". dylantube. wordpress. com . It is basically a categorized collection of Bob Dylan videos I have found on YouTube. I hand pick the videos and write my thoughts about them while watching and then post it up on the blog.
Thank you for reading and I hope to talk to you soon.

John Lennon wasn't a communist.
Vladimir Lenin obviously was.
It just makes more sense that way.

john lennons song was about as communist as you can get and considering this song is about the 60's and not the russian revolution it seems to me that lennin would be kind of random
