Burroughs was opposed to the Civil rights Movement? That's a surprise. Bob Dylan apparently admired Goldwater. He said so in his recent memoir which was positively reviewed by Joseph Farah. (cue Twilight Zone music). Here are some amusing Peter Seeger quotes...

"I like to say I'm more conservative than Goldwater. He just wanted to turn the clock back to when there was no income tax. I want to turn the clock back to when people lived in small villages and took care of each other."

"My father, Charles Seeger, got me into the Communist movement. He backed out around '38. I drifted out in the '50s. I apologize [in his recent book] for following the party line so slavishly, for not seeing that Stalin was a supremely cruel misleader."

"I still call myself a communist, because communism is no more what Russia made of it than Christianity is what the churches make of it. But if by some freak of history communism had caught up with this country, I would have been one of the first people thrown in jail."

Pretty expected, isn't it?

BTW here's the line from Dylan's book:

"My favorite politician was Arizona senator Barry Goldwater."
