I've often though Dylan's The Times They Are A-Changing was analogous to Barlow's 1996 A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace[1] (not that I thought that was a great document, but it is a convenient symbol).
The optimism and feeling of change was the same.
The Altamont concert[2] was the end of that feeling in the 60's, just as the 2016 US election campaign has been the end of it now.
