I first heard this song yesterday. I like the message of dignity which is not present in modern debate with activists. Yet this is definitely a protest song. It protests war. I protest tyranny. I decided to employ the song as a broadside against the political movement seizing COVID-19 hysteria and over ruling peoples lives, promising falsely that people can be freed from death, by giving up their freedoms. Now I read about the history of the song, and see that in 1962, Dylan wrote it as a broadside against those building fall out shelters. I had already guessed from the 1962 date that, with JFK alive and the Vietnam War not really present and Korean war buried by Democrats in detente, that Dylan was not going for what today seems obvious.

I was raised as an Atheist. I learned, after reading the Bible, that God loves me, and you. This is his song for you too. He loves you, and wants to be with you.
