This is an impressive bit of historical revisionism, entirely in tune with the pro-war memes saturating American corporate media these days related to the continued war in Ukraine (and the official state opposition to a negotiated settlement). In particular, it manages to entirely avoid mentioning Vietnam! Is the author and editor really unaware of that aspect of Bob Dylan's history? Let's see if we can help them out:

> "Through Bob Dylan’s music, the Vietnam War was able to be fought through the use of music as a means of protest. His songs clearly addressed the war, demonstrating that people were speaking about it, as well as expressing the ambivalence that many in the field felt. Despite the fact that the majority of his anti-war songs were written to protest the Vietnam War, many of them are still used today to express opposition to current-day conflicts... Masters of War, The Times They Are A Changin’, and All Along the Watchtower all discussed the atrocities of the war, whereas The Weight, as well as All Along the Watchtower, addressed the general unrest and unease of the time."
