@mattyglesias Not sure what this is responding to, but did a whole thread on this, and it’s definitely what Lincoln’s going for. It’s part of a strong prophetic streak in American moral thinking. David Blight’s Frederick Douglass biography eg basically understands him as a latter day Jeremiah. https://t.co/K6enyhdSAB

Beach Town: Stories

David Daniel
Ari LammAri Lamm

At first glance the answer's obvious: all three stories depict the mighty brought low. But as always with Dylan, there's a subtlety here. In each case, it's a social outsider who announces the impending downfall. Daniel, Moses and young David. Perhaps how Dylan saw himself?
