The Beatles are not the only ones making history 50 years ago this week. On this day, Feb 10, 1964 Bob Dylan released his classic "The Times They Are a-Changin," on his 3rd album (Columbia Records). Perhaps he could be seen as the prophetic figure who presaged the era of upheaval the Beatles and so many others represented, most notably, Dylan himself.
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'.
See John Lennon's Don't Let Me Down.
See George Harrison's Let It Roll
