I put this version of 'A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall' together in the wake of current world events. Bob Dylan wrote this in 1962, when he was rapidly establishing himself as the voice of his generation. Fifty years on and it seems to me that his words are as relevant and necessary as ever.

Sometimes behind the mask of double speak: "Obviously that involves kinetic military action, particularly on the front end," deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes. A hard rain's a falling on Tripoli whichever way we look at it.
