This song as always been special to me, just wanted to share:


Blowing In The Wind

How many roads must a man walk down,
before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail,
before she sleeps in the sand?
yes and how many times must a cannon ball fly,
before they're forever banned?
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind.​
how many years can a mountain exist,
before it is washed to the sea.
how many years can some people exist,
before they're allowed to be free.
yes and how many times can a man turn his head,
and pretend that he just doesn't see.
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind.​
how many times must a man look up,
before he can see the sky.
yes and how many ears must one man have,
before he can hear people cry.
Isn’t how many deaths will it take till he knows,
that too many people have died.
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind

A wonderful song, with wonderful lyrics that I'm sure get ignored. The problem with society, is that they blow off what is important, and accept and willingly force themselves into what is unimportant. I'm not saying that I am not within that group, but at least I am trying to break free and see what is out there and find out what's going on in our world. I am actively trying to change it. That's why I'm here on this forum. To learn and to spread what I have learned, and to spread my opinions and thoughts on all that I see, hear, and read.
 
Yes it's a very good song I can't believe how young Bob Dylan looks in this picture! It's too bad nobody actually can hear what the song really means!
 
If you listen to the songs today, most of the lyrics are all about having fun, there is no lesson to be learned in them. Heaven forbid your entertainment teach you something.
 
The answer My friends is not blowin in the wind, because the wind ain't blowin.
It appears as though it is to anyone offering up a resistance to the direction the atmosphere, which is acting under attraction, displacing in location relative to that attraction.
The answer my friends is in learning what that attraction is.
