> On June 20, 2015, the United States released its 2015 Summer Olympics schedule. The Times They Are A-Changin’ was released in 1963, when Americans were growing increasingly upset with Vietnam.

What? Was that article written by an AI? Your comment as well seems completely disconnected from the New Yorker piece and a flimsy excuse to use Dylan for your own gains. This is the type of behavior that drove Dylan away from the protest movements in the 60s.

There are about a hundred other articles on Bob Dylan and his anti-Vietnam war protest songs, if you don't like that particlar one. Here's something from a decade ago for example:

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/apr/10/anti-war-ic...

> "HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM (AP) - Bob Dylan, whose anti-war anthems made him the face of protest against a war that continues to haunt a generation of Americans, finally got his chance to see Vietnam - at peace."

Isn't it just a little bit odd that a New Yorker retrospective piece on Bob Dylan doesn't even mention Vietnam? And isn't that most likely due to the corporate media cheerleading for escalation of the war in Ukraine?

Quite so, Bob is foremost a troubadour who hated being called the 'voice of a generation' and the certain brand of hippies who titled him as such. Talk about missing the point.
