Mr. Dylan took jabs at music icons like the songwriters Leiber and Stoller (âYakety Yak,â âStand by Meâ), saying that he didnât care that they didnât like his songs, because he didnât like theirs either. Nashville wasnât spared. In barely diplomatic terms, Mr. Dylan mocked the country songwriter Tom T. Hall, saying that his sentimental 1973 song âI Loveâ (âI love baby ducks, old pickup trucksâ) was âa little overcooked,â and implying that Mr. Hall was part of an old guard that was bemused and left behind by the musical revolution of the 1960s and â70s.
