He didn't "write" Turn Turn Turn. It is a verbatim musical rendition of Ecclesiastes 3:1. He only wrote the last line and gave it a title.

Just a hunch, but I'm pretty certain that anyone familiar with the song knows that the lyrics are taken from Ecclesiastes.

I doubt it. How many people have read Ecclesiastes? How many people have heard the song? I rest my case. ${#emotions_dlg.biggrin}$

Color me crazy, but back in the day everyone knew that's where the words came from, without having to read the Bible verse. If you haven't heard the song, then it's a moot point! Case closed! Wink ${#emotions_dlg.laugh}$
