But that’s not how it used to be.
When the jester sang for the king and queen,
In a coat he borrowed from james dean
And a voice that came from you and me," (Bob Dylan stanza) |
I always wondered about that one, I don't know enough about Dylan to say you are wrong so I'll take your word for it.

"Oh, and while the king was looking down,
The jester stole his thorny crown.
The courtroom was adjourned;
No verdict was returned.
And while lennon read a book of marx,
The quartet practiced in the park,
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died." (Elvis Presley)

I think there may be more to this than just the death of Presley, but once again, I really don't know.
Just curious how you came to these conclusions and if you have a synopsis of the symbolism and imagery. If you don't, that's cool, God knows I am too lazy to provide proof of half the shit I say on here.
