A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall in Copenhagen

Tuesday, December 8, 2009

In light of "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall" being chosen by the U.N. as its anthem for the climate change summit in Copenhagen, here's some ol' skool footage of Bob Dylan performing the record itself. Dylan orignally released the song in 1962, at the height of the Cold War.

Even though I'm not a huge Dylan guy, the lyrics are apropos.

For more on the climate change conference, hit up COP15.

The way things are going in Copenhagen, for small island nations like Tuvalu and Fiji, a more apt song might be Tool's "Aenema" (a.k.a. "Learn to Swim").
