Randy: Yo Dog, listen up: that's one of the classic protest songs. Interesting that you would up tempo it. I don't know. Kind of worked for me. Kind of didn't.
Paula: I really liked your look. Dark slacks and a pressed white shirt says serious talent to me. And we love that you have enough heart to protest injustices.
Simon: Sam, Sam Cook is it? That's a name America will soon forget. Listen, wrong song, wrong style. People want to be entertained, not end wars or overcome racism. The problem with that Joan Baez or Peter, Paul and Mary stuff, is that ultimately it's so Joan Baez and Peter, Paul and Mary. O.K, O.K, boo all you want. But despite the booing I'm enduring from the audience right now, I expect America will agree with me when the votes are counted tomorrow.

Nice find Jack. Was that circa 1966?
The girls hair give it away everytime!
And a great weekend for you as well, for a job well done.

One of the coolest things about Bob Dylan is that he reached across to some Black artists just as surely as Motown reached the other way. Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Wonder idolized him. Sam Cooke wondered why this song had been written by a Minnesota folk singer and it inspired him to write "A Change Is Going To Come":
I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I`ve been running ever since
It`s been a long, long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it is
It`s been too hard living
But I`m afraid to die
I don`t know what`s up there beyond the sky
It`s been a long, long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh yes it will
Then I go to my brother
I say brother help me please
But he winds up knocking me
Back down on my knees
There`s been times that I thought
I wouldn`t last for long
But now I think I`m able to carry on
It`s been a long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will
