Many songs on different themes have been composed and performed by him.  One of the very famous songs "Blowin in the Wind" focuses on humanity issues with the great philosophy. The traditional folk songs have been rendered in rock and roll style. R.A. Zimmerman is called Bob Dylan. He expresses the suppression and in discriminant about down trodden and marginalised societies. So many questions are raised in his songs against the malice politicians. No doubt there are answers but it is so essential the nobility and staunch to find out and implement to gain and goals as we observe in the song," Blowin  in the Wind." For the demand of quality and human rights when is avoided by orthodox and dictators then suppressed people have to adopt the way of violence.

In these days,  there are so many poets who imbibe the efforts to gain name and fame, it is difficult to write different from trends and express such issues as Bob Dylan has done in simplicity. His songs are not merely the means of entertainment in spite of literary features which are voices of common people.  Actually sometimes many orthodox and dictators arise hindrances against the voice of suppressed people who are marginalized. They have to face to hazard and harassment too even sometimes they have to loss their lives. No doubt it has to accept to be a daring job. The American folk laureate Bob Dylan's magnificent performance has mesmerised the Literature World.
