I actually wasn't saying Dylan was an LSD addict, rather the charachter in Subterranean Homesick blues was an LSD addict. While Dylan admitted to be "pro chemistry" (as cited by the Book Acid Dreams), I have no idea if he was an addict. My guess is probably not actually. Hey, thanks for your comments.

One thing about Dylan's poetry, like all good literature/poetry/scripture is that it is alive and the meanings are unique to each of us. More importantly I think is that the meanings change for each individual as they change and what you hear today is not what you heard yesterday as you journey and deepen through life. As far as being an LSD addict- I'm not sure that is possible though of course many have (and continue to?) over the years. Dylan's "House of the Rising Sun." When he recorded it he did not have money at all- in fact somewhere I read a rumor that when he first came to NYC he did some hustling to survive. I was just doing a google search for the story when I came upon your article. Don't know that its true but the story has always intrigued me and would add to his mystique and maybe give some understanding to his social justice concerns. OK back to the search.
