{"product_id":"9781614642824","title":"Bob Dylan: A Biography","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 2012, 70-year-old Bob Dylan marked the 50th anniversary of his debut album, Bob Dylan. For a half-century, the artist's genius forged modern culture and challenged ideas of what it meant to be a musician. Dylan pushed the envelope in the music world time and again. He was a reluctant spokesperson for the protest movement of the 1960s. His driven creative journey through music genres, film, literature and painting established a rich body of work provocatively articulating the human experience of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDylan's second album, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, was released in 1963. Unlike the earlier folk album, it primarily contained original songs, including the iconic Blowin' In the Wind, and anti-war songs, Masters of War and A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall. Established artists Peter, Paul, and Mary, and Joan Baez recorded Dylan's new wave protest music, launching his image as a spokesperson of the Vietnam anti-war era. Despite populace pressure, it was a role Dylan refused to claim. Songs from the period, such as Blowin' In The Wind and The Times They Are a-Changin' found their way into the American songbook.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hyperink","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47151511470320,"sku":"9781614642824","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781614642824_p0.jpg?v=1763847907","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781614642824","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
