Short story:
Today's issue of TIME Magazine reports that Bob Dylan's Blowin' In The Wind as recorded by folk trio Peter, Paul And Mary has become "the fastest-selling record [Warner Brothers] has ever cut." The article continues, "all over the U.S., folk singers are doing what folk singers are classically supposed to do - singing about current crises. ... They are singing with hot-eyed fervor about police dogs and racial murder. Sometimes they use serviceable old tunes, but just as often they are writing new ones about fresh heroes and villains, from Martin Luther King to Bull Connor."
