On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, marking a cultural turning point that shattered America’s postwar optimism and ushered in the turbulence of the 1960s. In this episode of Hitchhiking Highway 61, host Kevin Fallon explores Bob Dylan’s The Times They Are A-Changin’ — an anthem written before Kennedy’s death but one that eerily captured the nation’s shifting mood. From civil rights to Vietnam to the rise of counterculture, Dylan’s stark folk declaration became the soundtrack to a decade in motion.
