The young woman whose body is burning is Kim Phuc, the naked little girl running from her napalmed village in the photo everyone remembers. She's still alive today, speaking out about the end to war. It will never come. She still lives in pain every day of her life. Dylan wrote about it almost exactly ten years to the day before it happened on June 8, 1972.

it happened in 1972 and Bob was singing this song in 1963?
