Bob Dylan quote of the week

This one -- the opening of Blind Willie McTell -- sets a tone of Biblical prophecy. I want to know what "this land" is. Not the US, because it extends to Jerusalem. Probably all of modernity.

Seen the arrow on the doorpost
Saying, "This land is condemned
All the way from New Orleans
To Jerusalem."

Actually there are a number of towns in the U.S. called Jerusalem. OH, MD,AL, UT and NC all have a town called Jerusalem.

Maybe someone should call Bobby on this to ask him what he meant.
