Myopic Whamzees: Where's Bob Dylan When We Need Him?

Moi has tried to be a breed apart, not for the sake of vanity, but for the sake of the hope of ending/ restraining my troubling matters. Vexing are these days of police brutality, oligarch plowing U.S. asunder and wars that kill, in our American name, due to black op schemes (for the sake of Empire oil and other resources).
Yours truly, like many who actually still give a damn, is outraged at the current state of affairs. Today's generation lacks the clarity of purpose and dedication of the teens in the 70's. Social media allows us to bark; but it tends to have less bite. At that time decades ago, they were drafting U.S. to Vietnam, to kill people who never called Muhammad Ali the N'word, so that we could readily die (in the name of ????).
To quash our protest, POTUS Nixon had organized military seeking to suppress U.S. Students were killed at Kent State by weekend warriors with too many guns and no targets to splatter. At that time, we were led to believe that Vietnam was about to end and then became enraged when Cambodia was invaded. Four people were killed then, resulting in the Crosby Stills and Nash song "4 Dead in Ohio".
Today, we need the same passion and purpose to make a change. The puppet masters are destroying our country, our purported way of life and our futures. Back then, our passion cried out and musicians that spoke for U.S. back then. If I'm as angry as those with me at Kent State, when the big thing happened..... am I knocking on heavens door?
Where is Bob Dylan and his kind, when we need him?

My favorite song from Bob Dylan, is his Knocking on Heaven's door; but that is not the one he is most noted for. As the pic (from Wikipedia - [link:http://|here]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowin%27_in_the_Wind) details, Dylan's most popular song is "Blowin in the Wind". That moving, listed as Number 4 of all time by Rolling Stone, of the top 500, was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1994.
Bob Dylan has a large amount of songs he has never released. He just had his 70th birthday in 2012; and moi is of the opine that the 70's spirit lies dormant among U.S. and a guy like Bob Dylan can be just the person to bring it out, by doing his 70'ish tour of the 70's era. A challenge to the modern day movements to find passion beyond Tweets, shares and likes.
They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
But it's alright, Ma, it's life, and life only".
--Bob Dylan -
Many times there lays within me, a regret that my stubborn ways led me to post my name online, instead of a moniker like most. At my Fighting-Corruption.com website, I've chosen Whamzees (because I am myopic of spirit and want to WHAM a lot of assholes).
I leave you with the thought to ponder - has social media made it easier for U.S. to bark - but not bite?
