For the record (pardon the pun), I've been listening to Bob Dylan's Freewheelin' album quite a bit lately.

That's a great song that is just as relevant today and probably more so. Peter, Thanks For Posting!

When Bob Dylan and his girlfriend, Suze Rotolo, were both inside Columbia Records studios in 1962 during recording sessions for Bob Dylan's (self-entitled) first album,
and then his follow-up second outing "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan", Suze had no idea she was witnessing "Folk Music" history being made.
I'm not sure Bob Dylan did either, but something very powerful was taking place, and 45 years later (2008) Suze Rotolo wrote a book about it: "A Freewheelin' Time"
"MASTERS OF WAR" startles Bob Dylan himself. "I've never written anything like that before", he recalls. The rage, which comes from the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962,
and put President Kennedy at odds with Soviet Leader Nikita Khrushchev gave Bob Dylan cause to lash out about nuclear weapons.
"You never done nuthin' but build to destroy, you play with my world, like it's your little toy." - Bob Dylan
