Bob Dylan’s Deep Satire

I saw a clip of Dylan and Joan Baez singing “It Ain’t Me Babe,” and they kept breaking out laughing. I guess the notion of Bob Dylan “gather (ing) flowers constantly” is pretty funny. And now, I wonder if the whole thing is a bit of a “put on.”
My fav “unreasonable requests” in the song are “Someone to die for you..and more” “to protect and defend you.. whether you are right or wrong” “someone to close their eyes.. to close their heart” “A lover for your life.. and nothing more”!?
