FrankM, do you know anything about the Civil Rights struggle in the 1960s?
"Blowin' In The Wind" meant something to numerous Americans at that time...
the sort of men and women who didn't have time to sit around listening to the radio and spinning "rock and roll fantasies."

So what's your point? If it meant something to some people then so be it. I think you are trying to make the song something it isn't. Not everbody equates a particular movement with a song. The movement might be important but does that mean we all have to love the song?

So that means if there is an important worldwide movement in the future and Streets Of Love is somehow tied into it we all have to love Streets Of Love?

FrankM, my main objection as I stated earlier was your reference to "Blowin' In The Wind as "ultra campy."
If you don't have any heart or soul,so be it.

OMG there are some people that never miss a chance to be offended. The song has been used at various times througout the years for various reasons. While I support some of the causes it was used for it is the cause itself that is important not the song.
How many people have poked fun at Streets Of Love? It was actually used during an ad that asked for donations after Hurricane Katrina. Do people who criticize Streets Of Love have no heart or soul?

I DON'T feel "offended."
My reaction was and is one of surprise...that you didn't view "Blowin in the Wind" as significant to what was happening in America in the 1960's. That it wasn't...isn't "just another pop song."
I don't think of "Streets of Love" in the same vein as the Dylan song...but if it helped to raise money for an important cause like helping victims of Hurricane Katrina I'm happy to know that.

I believe people may have paid money for them to stop playing it. It was something like that anyway.

Yes, "Blowin' In The Wind" was a civil rights anthem. That said, "Puff The Magic Dragon" was a pot smoking anthem (even if unintentional). They both bore the daylights out of me. Maybe I just don't like Peter, Paul, and Mary.
In fact, the folk music of the 60's blows in the wind (and elsewhere). Think I'll go have a puff...........

Yeah, the lyrics are very meaningful, but the song is BORING.
