He's not trying to justify his Nobel with every couplet he writes.
Dylan often writes in a folk, blues, jazz cat voice.
Also, as Tim and I discussed earlier in this thread, almost everything Dylan has written since '97 is a collage of other peoples words. Lyrically, there's a lot more going on in this song than meets the ear.
But if you want me to justify his Nobel, I reckon he deserves it alone for the final verse of Mr. Tambourine Man.
