Definitely...
Honestly, my favorite “secular protest” songs are all by Dylan. Wouldn’t that be a hoot? Would make the hippies heads explode if we start singing “their” songs! (Yes, I do know that Dylan NEVER made a statement against the war... Cool guy that one... Too smart for many)
The Times They Are A-Changin - Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan came through the campus where I resided way back in the sixties (1964). I met him and thought then he was a sort of traveling philosopher, not really participating in the culkture directly but ready to reflect societal currents with his muse. Subsequently, many thought of him as an anarchist; he never was or would be. Some thought of him as a hippie; he wasn’t committed to dropping out, just the opposite! Some thought of him as a doper; he wasn’t. A very few recognized him for what he really was and still is, though not as active now; he was in fact a philospher with music as a means of expression, and he was going to ride out the changes whatever they were and remain an opiner not a participant.
