In Reply to: Is Bob Dylan guilty of plagiarism? posted by Mike K on November 29, 2021 at 20:21:27:
Excerpt from Wikipedia page for this Dylan song,"Dylan references his former residence, Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan and a former resident, Alicia Keys. He claims to have been inspired to write the song after admiring Keys' performance at the 2002 Grammy Awards.[8] These lines, however, are themselves a veiled reference to the Memphis Minnie song "Ma Rainey".[9]
The line "I've been sitting down studying The Art of Love" is the first of many references to the Ancient Roman poet Ovid on Modern Times.[10]
The song is studded with biblical allusions: The title, for example, evokes the divine presence at Mount Sinai in the Book of Exodus while the line "Today's the day I'm gonna grab my trombone and blow" suggests Dylan himself playing the role of the archangel Gabriel blowing his horn.[11]"
