If what they said about him in the 60s is still true, and I have no reason to think it has changed he is pretty indifferent. The protest songs weren’t coming from any deeply held beliefs as much as wanting to be like his hero Woody Guthrie. Once he grew out of that he never returned to that kind of music, and he was never at the protests with the other folkies.
I would imagine that he remains indifferent on most political issues. Or he is for the most part at least too smart to really push his politics on anyone. I still remember Jann Wenner’s interview with Bob from a few years back. Wenner wanted him to say something for lefty politics and he wouldn’t. The most clear one was about global warming and Bob replied he didn’t know about that it was cold as hell where he was.
Yes Dylan wanted to follow in his hero’s footsteps (Guthrie) and yes he tended to steer clear of geopolitics. But I think you’d agree that his views on civil rights were heartfelt, and not in the least indifferent made up. There are pictures of him in the south participating in civil rights events, and I think this was no mere posturing.
My previous comments had no small amount to do with current politics, but also went deeper than that. I wonder more generally how Dylan would see society as a whole today - sure the politics - but everything else that goes with it - the dot commies, the twiterers, the sex in the city, the obama cult, the american idol, the whole ball of wax. Much like he observed society in the 60’s. My hope would be that he saw the craziness and the contradictions in where we are now. My fear is that he doesn’t.
