This song is discussed in the 1995 movie Dangerous Minds, where the characters talk about the underlying drug references this song might entail. Example: "Mr. Tambourine Man"=Drug Dealer; "Play a song for me"=give me a joint. The basis for this theory was that music was heavily censored at that time, so musicians would share their feelings about drugs and unallowed subject material through coded songs. Lloyd from La, CaThis song is about a drug dealer in Grenich Village who use to signal his customers that the "goodies" were in by playing his Tamborine. As for what this song is about, I feel that it is about being "open to experience" and the "call to adventure." It could also be about artistic inspiration, but people who are artistic are usually already "open." Sometimes people try drugs because they are "open" as well, but if drugs are referred to in the song, I don't feel they are as important in the song as being "open" in the first place. I think the point of the song is the desire to experience something. Maybe that's different for everyone. At the time of this appearance on 'Shindig!' the song was at #1 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart...

Johnny from Damascus, MdPersonally, I say we all should end the assumptions that all these songs (Mr. Tambourine Man, Crimson and Clover, Puff the Magic Dragon, etc) are about weed. Roger McGuinn explained: "I was shooting for a vocal that was very calculated between John Lennon and Bob Dylan. I was trying to cut some middle ground between those two voices." Dylan wrote this on a road trip he took with some friends from New York to San Francisco. They smoked lots of marijuana along the way, replenishing their stash at post offices where they had mailed pot along the way. He started writing it after they got to Mardi Gras in New Orleans and partied there the night of February 11, 1964.

Riley from Toronto, CanadaThis song is about drugs. In the 60's,they didn't just come out and really say 'I'm high' or 'lets all get together and smoke a splif'They were in code most of the time. And Dylan is a great example for the musicians of the 60's who wrote these sort of lyrics..though Dylan has said that none of his songs are about drugs. But after all...He did introduce Ringo, John, Paul and George to weed. lol. This was the first of many Bob Dylan songs recorded by The Byrds. Others include: "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere," "The Times They Are a-Changin'," "It's All Over Now Baby Blue," and "Chimes of Freedom." Between 1965 and 1970 the group had sixteen Top 100 records; two made the Top 10 and they both reached #1, the other was "Turn! Turn! Turn!" for 3 weeks later in 1965 on November 28th... Johnny from Los Angeles, CaThis is one of those songs that is "Why try to figure out the lyrics, just listen to it. Two days earlier on May 9th, 1965 it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #87... {See the next two posts below}...Calvin from Kyle, Txhaha thats a joke Mr. Tambourine man By the Byrds look dont get me wrong the birds were great at covering songs but they didnt have very many hits they wrote themselves and they had 3 borrowed from dylan.
