Revealing the True Meanings Behind These Misunderstood Songs

‘Mr. Tambourine Man’ – Bob Dylan

Many people believe that Bob Dylan’s 1965 masterpiece “Mr. Tambourine Man,” which was subsequently notably performed by The Byrds, was an autobiographical song about the musician discovering his creative inspiration through drugs. The song, however, is an homage to touring musician Bruce Langhorne, who played a huge Turkish frame drum similar to a tambourine in Dylan’s band and on recordings.
