Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Alright
Yea
I gotta confess
Weight of the world got me feeling hella stressed
I don't know what's next
Yea
Yea Uh
I like to fuck my ex cuz I like her tits
I really like sucking and fucking the clit
Yea cuz I got a magnum 22 and I'm talking 'bout my dick
Aye yo, we in this bitch again
Fuck the intro nigga I aint doing it
I hope to God that I spend less
Mother fuckers got me hella stressed
Been hella depressed
Thought about suicide but Im too alive
Life aint shit so you learn to hope less
The lyrics of Bob Dylan / A.J. Weberman's song Introduction appear to be a disjointed stream of consciousness from the mind of the performer. The opening line, "Turn me down a little bit," suggests that the singer is overwhelmed and needs some respite from the noise or pressure of the world around them. They then confess that they are feeling highly stressed and unsure of what is coming next in their life.
The subsequent lines about sex and genitalia could be interpreted as a refusal to be constrained by social norms or expectations. The singer seems to revel in their own sexuality and desire, and they are unashamedly upfront about it. This could be seen as a form of rebellion against traditional gender roles or as an expression of individuality and self-acceptance.
Overall, the song Introduction is a provocative and challenging piece of music that defies easy categorization. It is both intensely personal and universal in its themes, and it invites the listener to question their own assumptions and beliefs about identity, desire, and the human experience.

Am I the only one who kind of likes Webberman? Sure he’s an obsessed fan, and a brilliant antagonist/foil to Dylan... But he created “Dylanology,” and brought it to college, and community college, classes. He was partially right when he took credit for Bob’s noble prize, because without Webberman people wouldn’t take Dylan as seriously as a literary and cultural figure.
I think Webberman is a kind of tragic figure, because he wanted (or wants) Dylan to be the man that he, himself, was/is not. Instead of being “his own kind of civil rights leader,” he wanted Dylan to be that leader, for him.
In a way, I think Webberman is like all obsessed fans, in that he sees something of himself in his hero, but is unable to achieve the same status, fame, popularity, or influence; on his own.
If Webberman could be the political activist that he wanted Dylan to be, (even if he doesn’t have the same kind of influence) he would be a much more self-satisfied person, and wouldn’t care so much about what Dylan does or doesn’t do.
Furthermore, I think Bob gave him the time of day, because he saw that Webberman generally cares about his hero... He just has a lousy way of showing it.
My advice to Webberman would be; instead of trying to control Dylan, be the kind of man you wanted Dylan to be. He might not have Dylan’s talent, or his audience, but we all have to work with what we have if we want to achieve inner happiness and inner peace. ✌️
@RC-ml3ne
I knew Weberman more than 40 years ago in NY. What can you say about this guy? Sure, he's a bit of a nut job but he is also brilliant. This guy has enough brains for two or three men.
Okay, now on to Dylan. Everyone always wanted Dylan to conform to their beliefs. People understood Dylan in one of his expressions, but once his expression changed people felt betrayed. Rather than appreciate the genius of this great artist people became angered because Dylan was onto some new trip, but his work always impacts on both a personal and mass level. We should just accept and appreciate Dylan for what he is and what he becomes.
@Katragew
Dylan beat this guy up?! That is way too cool. This Weberman guy deserved it. You go Bob!
@kevman1ification
If I didn't know this was true,I wouldn't believe it. How strange.

David Carpenter Definitely!
@bluesborn
Bob was lucky-Lennon wound up with Chapman on his trail and we all know how that story ended.
@briteness
Certainly the most interesting part of this story is the fact that Dylan called up Weberman to talk about the situation, and then eventually resorted to roughing Weberman up. As the talking head says, it is very hard to imagine any celebrity today doing those things personally. It was a different time...
