I don't really recall when was the first time I listened to Bob Dylan. Neither don I know when did I start liking it. But if there is one thing that his music has offered me is an unique insight of the risks of so-called Liberal Policy making. Listen to songs such as The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll and understand how did left-wing movements appeared in the first place. The smashing and feudal-like power of America's wealthiest was absolutely shocking. I mean, being a Liberal myself I have often seen political measures that facilitate the accumulation of power around a fistful of individuals being called capitalism. Well, capitalism should always benefit the society as a whole by mitigating inequality and balancing bargaining power amongst the population. The thing is that it all too often it doesn't.
Shelter from the storm
But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,
Take the rag away from your face.
Now ain't the time for your tears.
