      They are a changin, but the call the Senators and Congressmen are hearing isn't ours. It's the same oligarchs as before, just with a fresh new coat of lies about how they'll totally take us back to a bygone age, no really, you guys.

      i do hope Bob Dylan would like to do a version of my song "I'm Not The Only One"... i think he could make it a Classic.. it starts off as a love song but it's about how tough life can be when we are good hearted to others in a often tough world..i think if he sang the chorus it could be one of his Greats
      i hope life will be Really good for you folks

      this is a link to "I'm Not The Only One".. i really hope one day people get a chance to hear it.. i wrote it after a lot of tough years
      lots of people say there's no songs with real heart to them these days but please the chorus on this one speaks to us all i think

    Dylan wrote this when he was 22 years old. When I first heard it I was 12. He seemed so old and wise. Now it amazes me that this song was written by what I now consider an adolescent. When I hear this song, I am 12 years old again and he still sounds old and wise.

      As an old soul 28 year old, sometimes I switch between that being a good thing and a bad thing. The young will always make mistakes, and will forever change the dynamic. I've been lucky in keeping apace with the times, but I fear one day that won't be the case. There's also old people with new ideologies, and young with old ideologies. The best we can do sometimes is adapt, and let people make mistakes.

    This, plain and simply, is probably the best song ever written. To write deep and profound lyrics, in which every single word is as relevant in 2021 as it was in 1964 says it all. These words will ring true in 200 years as well, i'm sure.
    This song alone is proof of his Nobel-price worthyness.

      Exactly. This song quite literally is revolutionary. You could play it at the start of time or at the end of it. Because the only one constant fixed point in life is change it will be forever relevant. That alone is insane in it's own respect. It's quite literally a timeless song essentially by design. There is only a handful of songs that you could ever say that about.

      TheRickay That’s because when they recorded songs in the 60s in the studio, they would sing the whole song all the way through and then would take the best version of it and release it. It’s not like nowadays where the “artist” sings a line they record it, then they’ll sing another line record it and mix which ever lines were sung best. There was no auto tune, there was no let’s take half of this take and part of this take. There’s a great story that Al Cooper (the accordion player for “Like a Rolling Stone”) said. He was in the recording studio with Bob Dylan and they recorded the song 11 times and the studio manager released the song that we all know and love today- yet the accordion player said that on take 1 of recording, Bob Dylan nailed the song and did it so well that they didn’t even think they needed anymore takes and thought that that was it and that should have been it. He said “You don’t mess with magic and that first take WAS magic“ but he said the song they released was like take 6 or 7 and doesn’t even think it was the best version of the song. So you’re always going to hear infractions of his voice in every single one of his songs pre-80’s. That’s what makes the artists of the 60’s and 70’s amazing, authentic, real, and superior artists.

    I am a Child of the early 60's born in Germany and discovered this Music in my teenage Days. Everytime I came home from School feeling down and empty, I was listening to Dylan's Songs 2 Hours straight and I felt refreshed and loaded up again with Energy.
    Now I am over 60 and still here refreshing when it's needed and enjoying this Music.
