When Dylan wrote Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum in 2001, he was thinking, naturally, of President Bush and Vice-President Cheney. So says Sean Daly of the St. Petersburg Times:

The best two cuts of the night, however, were when Dylan aimed his poison pen at the state of the union. Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum, presumably directed at the two most powerful men in the country, was a biting jam built on an ominous rumble of bass and drums. And for Ballad of a Thin Man, Dylan taunted apathetic citizens to pull their heads from the sand and take a look around.

It’s the casual way these kind of things are asserted that makes them so charming, is it not?
