When Bob Dylan wrote his classic, “The Times They Are a-Changin,'” in January 1964, the world felt unsettled.
The Vietnam War raged on under intense scrutiny, the United States of America was recovering from John F. Kennedy’s untimely assassination, Civil Rights were the topic of an entire nation, and flower children everywhere were prancing in the fields (oftentimes with the enhancement of friendly plants and unpredictable chemicals).
The times were surely a-changing, and if you weren’t careful, you could wake up one day in a transformed world that passed you by without a second thought.
Wake up in May 2022 as a hardened, battled-tested New York Jets fan, and that very same unfamiliarity Dylan once wrote on paper feels extraordinarily familiar.
