If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

Dylan's Positively 4th Street was recoded during the Highway 1 Revisited sessions. The put-down song, song is generally assumed to ridicule those folkies in the Greenwich Village who criticized Dylan for his departure from traditional folk styles to the electric guitar and rock music that began with Bringing it all Back Home.
The breaking point was when Dylan played the 1965 Newport Folk Festival supported by the Paul Butterfield Blues Band but he'd already been accepted by the growing rock & roll community.
Dylan's music over the past two decades until Time Out of Mind hasn't been all that interesting. During that period Dylan has been living in the twilight realm of the famously historical but unheard.
What Positively 4th Street, as an acerbic farewell, indicates is that it was rock 'n' roll that saved Dylan from the dreariness of his folk music. Positively 4th Street is an acerbic farewell. The new Dylan is stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again.
