Dwy,its not one of his i ever heard,but then i don't listen to music much,i read it poetry-like but remembering "the times they are a-changing"i should have recognised his unique style of putting into words the mood/reality /disillusionment that ordinary folks are feeling ,i remember in mid 60's/early 70's,civil rights, anti vietnam war,C.N.D. all hi-jacked his songs as their own,he captured the mood which people could relate to and that is no mean feat,and during an era when folks started to question decisions made by the hierarcy ....i only heard him performing live once and he is one of the few that sound just as good live as recorded in a studio....Good Luck.

I had thought with the subject of this thread some-one would have mentioned CIA whistleblower Edward Snowden he's been on the run since the end of May now allegedly holed up in Moscow Airport.....the repercussions of his revelations affect Europe/U.K. and many other Countries,if he returns home to U.S. he'll be tried for treason ,such is the power of the U.S. ,21 countries have refused him asylum ...so are we men/mice or sheepies...i for one admire his courage to reveal these "dirty tricks"carried out by a Govt. democratically elected.....(off now to my bunker)

see? ...the silly punk shoulda come to me
straight off
and i woulda bought him the presidency

but first i woulda planted my own really nice buggy aps in ALL the freepin govt computers
then i'd have all the dirt on EVERYONE
nand i'd always know which way the stock market was going
and who killed kennedy
and where the space alien bodies are buried
etc
etc
etc--you get the picture
and they'd HAVE to submit

every knee would bow
every tongue confess

i could RIG all the elections with the right group of hackers
hell with elections
i'll just run a program that says i have a trillion dollars in my bank of america account--and be done with it--or blackmail some dept or somethin--hell TWELVE trillion!
it's ALL just numbers in computers anyway

emperor of america and protector of mexico

how does that sound?--i like that
nice ring to it: emperor dwylbtzle the great (incorporated, of course)
see? that's how you gotta think:
you gotta fight back
are we not men?
someone oughta go to that airport and kidnap him and scurry him out in a submarine, or something
then let me look at all the stuff he's got
and i will make a decision as to what to do next

lol

hey--the guy said he coulda read the PRESIDENT'S email if he wanted to
if i couldn't figure a way to create an industry from that
i'd be ashamed to call myself an american
but, no--thinking like a weak sheeple--instead of a wurfle--he runs to china
and then russia--and now he's sitting there in an airport sucking his thumb
i should kick his ass when i see him--just for that--just for red china alone--the jerk
both those two countries were NOT afraid of america: enough to have scanned all that stuff before they cut him loose--bank on it
lol

I have to say , I've always been a huge fan of Dylan, and those lyrics seem to fit the situation quite well. I agree that Big Brother's always been watching , but with todays technology the job got a lot easier. Myself I think Edward Snowden is a hero. I don't know all the facts, but from what I've read and heard he worked for a private contractor that worked for the CIA, I doubt that there are any terrorist in places like Hong Kong. The no good possible reason for collecting this kind of information. What Snowden was doing while working for this contractor is illegal.

He should be protected under the whistle blower laws.

Unfortunately, the media has already thrown him under the bus

Snowden deserves the Nobel Peace Price much more than Obama ever did.

Snowden knew he was going to be a traitor before ever being employed by the private contractor, naive to think otherwise. All governments are listening; it was and is common knowledge between countries and governments.

There is a vast difference between listening in of Embassies or foreign government communications, and sweeping up all emails and keeping track of everyone's phone calls. Snowden came to understand the overreach of what was being done and how unconstitutional it is. Snowden has a conscience.

It has been rumoured for decades that governments were listening inside and generally acknowledged. There was no way they couldn’t have been considering the number people they had hired. He is no hero; he is just another treasonous traitor, otherwise he would have done things differently. Every major country is doing this, amazed you didn't know Jim.

Why do you assume that I didn't know? I've know about this for about ten years. The problem is that most of the US population did not know. The problem is that even congress did not know the extent of the surveillance program.

The problem is that the President goes on TV and tells a whopper, "There is no domestic spying on American, we don't have a domestic spying program." Then the following day Obama made it clear he has no intention of stopping the daily collection of Americans' phone records. And while he offered "appropriate reforms," he blamed government leaks for creating distrust of his domestic spying program.

Snowden is a hero to true freedom loving American patriots.

I don't see any other way to tell Americans that their government is snooping in on their communication, other than showing them the extent of the snooping.

Well then true freedom loving American patriots set their hero standards pretty low.
