The phrase “he saw the best lyrics” is a reference to the 1965 song “Like a Rolling Stone” by Bob Dylan. The song is a scathing indictment of the music industry and the state of popular culture in the mid-1960s. Dylan’s lyrics are full of anger and frustration, but they are also full of beauty and poetry. The song’s narrator is a man who has seen the “best lyrics” that the world has to offer, and he is not impressed. He has seen through the shallowness and hypocrisy of the music industry, and he is disgusted by what he has seen.
“Like a Rolling Stone” was a commercial success, and it helped to establish Dylan as one of the most important voices of his generation. The song’s lyrics have been praised by critics for their intelligence, wit, and passion. The song has also been covered by numerous artists, including Jimi Hendrix, the Rolling Stones, and Joan Baez.
