Oh Bob ~ The Times They Are A-Changin’ Come gather ’round people Wherever you roam And admit that the waters Around you have grown And accept it that soon You’ll be drenched the bone If your time you is worth savin’ Then you better start swimmin’ or you’ll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin’ Come, writers and critics, Who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide The chance won’t come again And don’t speak too soon For the wheel’s still in spin And there’s no tellin’ who that it’s namin’ For the loser now will be later to win For the times they are a-changin’ Come, senators, congressmen Please heed the call Don’t stand in the doorway Don’t block up the hall For he that gets hurt Will be he who has stalled There’s a battle outside and it is ragin’ It’ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin’ Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land And don’t criticize What you can’t understand Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command Your old road is rapidly agin’ Please get out of the new one if you can’t lend your hand For the times they are a-changin’ The line it is drawn The curse it is cast The slow one now Will later be fast As the present now Will later be past The order is rapidly fadin’ And the first one now will later be last For the times they are a-changin’ .youtube.com/watch?v=90WD_ats6eE © 1963, 1964 Bob Dylan  "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.” |

Ol' Bob has been singing this song for a while now and so far he's been a better poet than prophet. It looks pretty much like this November is gonna be our last shot, so we better make it count. We can sing all we want, but when the chips are down we'll be a hell of a lot better off being organized. Hope is not a plan. "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.”

And 56 years ago we believed we would be the change that would be relevant. Don't ever doubt the relevance of truth . . just the truth of relevance.

This song is as Relevant now as it was 56 years ago. "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.”

ali Sadly, some things have NOT changed since those words were penned  I hope they do now but have my doubts , sadly A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. George Bernard Shaw Jenny
