Song 13 -- The Times They Are A-Changin'

This song was written in 1963. Simply enough, it is about change in America. The change was referring to a wide range of things, from racism to poverty to social issues. It was an anthem for all those who wanted change and were willing and ready to accept it. This song was written almost as a prediction or just a statement of what was happening. I liked the point of this song, but not the song itself. I never was a fan of Dylan, but, I give him credit for this song, the meaning is there. This song tells of America's constant ever changing society. It highlighted the 60's and 70's when views on social issues were radically turning.
