I can`t advice people enough to (…)

Recorded on 23 October 1963, the song was released on Dylan’s 1964 album The Times They Are A-Changin’ and gives a generally factual account of the killing of 51-year-old barmaid Hattie Carroll by the wealthy young tobacco farmer from Charles County, William Devereux "Billy" Zantzinger (whom the song calls "William Zanzinger"), and his subsequent sentence to six months in a county jail.

When journalist George Monbiot was asked last week why he had tried to exercise a citizen’s arrest on neocon John Bolton - one of the prime instigators of the Iraq war - he replied, "We must ensure that people do not forget.
