![Original notebook page for Dylan’s The Times They are a Changin’..Notice how there are hardly any cross-outs. He was like 22. Happy Birthday Bob.
From Wikipedia..Less than a month after Dylan recorded the song, President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963. The next night, Dylan opened a concert with “The Times They Are a-Changin’”; he told biographer Anthony Scaduto: “I thought, ‘Wow, how can I open with that song? I’ll get rocks thrown at me.’ But I had to sing it, my whole concert takes off from there. I know I had no understanding of anything. Something had just gone haywire in the country and they were applauding the song. And I couldn’t understand why they were clapping, or why I wrote the song. I couldn’t understand anything. For me, it was just insane.”[8]](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_llqhnfhfqQ1qhyux6o1_500.jpg)
