This was just the beginning of the rolling stone that is Bob Dylan, and how he forever changed and left such an influential impact on popular music. Bob Dylan's second album, released in 1963, shone as the metaphorical light on the path, presented as one of the most original and poetic works of art in American music history, which included two of the most memorable folk song, “Blowin' in the Wind” and “A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall”. This is the beginning of using music as a means of Mass Communication. “Blowin' in the Wind” asks rhetorical questions about peace, war and freedom. And as of 2004's, Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of all Time, it was ranked number 14.
