Who was Mr. Tambourine Man? Many of Bob Dylans listeners assumed the song was about a drug experience, as the Tambourine Man puts the singer in a spell and takes him on a trip through an exotic, poetic landscape. But in 1985, Dylan insisted it was inspired by Bruce Langhorne, the folk musician who accompanied him on guitar during the recording of the song. He had this gigantic tambourine, Dylan remembered. It was as big as a wagon wheel. He was playing, and this vision of him playing this tambourine just stuck in my mind.
