History Highlight:

Today in 1962, Bob Dylan recorded "Blowin' In the Wind" at Columbia Recording Studios in New York City during an afternoon session. Although it has been described as a protest song, it poses a series of rhetorical questions about peace, war and freedom. The refrain "The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind" has been described as completely ambiguous: either the answer is so obvious it is right in your face, or the answer is as intangible as the wind. In 2004, it was ranked #14 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".
