Bob Dylan… Still a Rolling Stone



- Why do we need rolling stones? People have always struggled to change the world through art but never has it been as effective as with Bob Dylan. He was able to turn a song into an anthem and gather a generation around it. This icon of pop culture born in 1941, who started his career in small cafes and bars, came up with a song that we all can sing along with “Blowing in the Wind” (1964). This song and many others were able to tackle serious social issues introducing poetry into top 10´s. Not only was this author able to fight for his beliefs, but he was also a rolling stone. He never surrendered his artistic vision for any audience and was willing to risk everything on behalf of change. As the rolling stone that never stops, Bob has always kept looking for a new chord, your sympathetic chord, the one that he´s still striking. We might not need a second coming, but it’s high time to stand up for our rights and defend what can´t be compromised “When you´ve got nothing, you´ve got nothing to lose.”
