Barry Feinstein: Window to Dylan

-Liverpool 1966

Hollywood photographer Barry Feinstein is a long time friend and collaborator of Dylan

lost poems and photos found in 2008

Barry took the photo on the cover of his 1964 album "Times They are A Changin"
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call...

There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'...

The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

Some pictures included were shots Feinstrin had taken of the actual bottle of pills Marolyn Monroe had killed herself with, Marlin Brando being called a Niger Lover, and signs outside bars warning "fagots" not to enter.
