Pursuit to a world with hope and freedom.

Bob Dylan always wanted a world full of peace. He followed the same dreams that MLK Jr. addressed. The famous “I have a dream” speech. Bob Dylan’s song “Blowing in the wind,” became a official anthem for a short while. Until it was lost. Later the song “the time there are – aChangin” was known for an anthem as well. Both songs were award winning songs. Although he was known for Vietnam war – anthems. These two songs gave him a good status to a role model for young and a good example to adults.
