I don't claim to really know much about the cultural movements of the 1960s or about folk music in general, but I am definitely attracted to the musical quality of guitar and harmonica together as well as the message (insofar as I can derive it) of the lyrics.
To me, this song is a reminder to be a bit more sensitive to those around me, to not put off trying to be a better person, to pay more attention to the needs of those around me and try to lend a hand. The answers to the questions he asks certainly may be "blowing in the wind," but that doesn't mean I can't do what I can now to try to improve myself and lend a hand to others.
