=E. Conclusion (150-200 words) Tips]=

In conclusion I feel that Bob Dylan's work does to some extent help a historian studying the conditions in 1960's America. This is because Dylan held many positions with regards to multiple issues that took place in the 60's, Civil Rights, Cold War, Nuclear War etc. These positions come across in his work, however it is apparent that you have to have knowledge of the events that where happening at that time, as well as knowledge of the meaning behind his lyrics. The fact that this is needed in order to use his work to help you the study the conditions weakens Dylan's music as a source. Although I feel that rather than allowing historians to study the event that happened in the 1960's Dylan's work rather helps them to understand the condition and opinions that were felt by the nation as regard to the issues. That is probably why Dylan gained some many followers, because his opinions matched that of a whole proportion of the nation, which in turn makes his work valuable.
