I’m still in the dark, what did he say and how do we know what his politics are?

” No one was expecting Bob Dylan to say a thing during his two-plus hour concert last night at Northrop Auditorium. For years, Dylan has been known to keep to himself during shows, often only speaking between songs once in order to introduce his band members. But last night, after a lengthy break between his regular set and his encore which I can only imagine was spent discovering that Barack Obama had won the election, Dylan returned to the stage to play “Like a Rolling Stone” and then turned to the audience and spoke.

“I was born in 1941,” he said, a wavering sentimentality in his scratchy voice. “That was the year they bombed Pearl Harbor. I’ve been living in darkness ever since. It looks like things are going to change now.”

He turned back to his keyboard and led the band in an almost unrecognizable rendition of “Blowin’ in the Wind.” Throughout most of the set, Dylan opted to keep his voice low and sparse as he half-sang, half-coughed the words into the microphone, but at the end of “Blowin’ in the Wind” he strained his voice to hit the high register of the original melody and held onto the words in the chorus as long as he could. When his voice couldn’t bear any more, he picked up his harmonica and practically skipped to the center of the stage. Even from my seat in the balcony it was obvious that Dylan was excited, and it only served to further ignite the fired-up crowd. “

What does that tell you ?
