What more can be said of Bob Dylan, and what needs to be said? It’s true that almost every musician has performed a Bob Dylan song. Blowin’ in the Wind, The Times They Are A-changin’,and numerous other songs of his became anthems expressing the feelings that young people were ready to make the world better, and had the power to do so.
