Coronation Street

Maybe not the most obvious place for a Bob Dylan reference, but just the other night one of the old codgers on Coronation Street said (in reference to the slightly-less-than-revolutionary situation he and his cronies were in): 'as Bob Dylan once said, 'the times they are a'changing''. Kind of freaked me out actually...

But it's a good example of how Dylan's words have become mainstream cultural reference points in Britain, but (so often) still represent challenges to the status quo (whatever that status quo may be).
