Even as gandhi was working for balasumdaram, the south africans passed a new law designed to make life difficult for indians. if an indentured worker chose to stay past his or her contract and settle, the worker was slapped with an annual tax, which was a heavy burden for indians, who barely survived on their wages. the message was clear: you were brought to natal only as a guest worker; you have no right to stay. today in the united states we allow mexicans and people from central america to milk cows and to pick tomatoes, strawberries, grapes, and other crops, but congress has been deadlocked over the rules for allowing them to become residents or citizens. just like the whites in natal, we want the cheap labor but are reluctant to offer those same workers and their children a home in our country.

Dylan is of course enormously influential. springsteen, who referred to him as “the father of my country” in his new born to run memoir, is one of many who were once known as “new dylans.” every singer-songwriter with a personal story to tell owes him a debt, and hearing the above lines read or sung aloud, with their knack for internal rhyme, call up inevitable parallels to the dense playful language of rap. –“dylan's nobel prize settles debate: rock lyrics are poetry,” dan deluca which piece of evidence supports the claim that dylan’s rock lyrics are like poetry? he is enormously influential. his lyrics feature internal rhyme. singer-songwriters owe him a debt. someone called him “the father of my country.”
