Thread Name: An Open Letter To Bob Dylan
Subject: RE: An Open Letter To Bob Dylan
I was in a shop the other day and the radio played Dylan's simple acoustic "Times they are a changing", and the verse came with the words;
"How many deaths will it takes till he knows
That too many people have died"
Beside me was a man about my age (60's) and we glanced at each other.
"Good to hear some decent music for a change" he said.
"Yeah, but it didn't make any difference and that's the sad thing" I said.
"Yeah" he agreed, "But maybe he should sing it again."
And we both smiled and shook our heads.
And that's the sad thing.
