I saw this documentary and developed a STRANGE NEW RESPECT for Bob Dylan. And what did he do that was so horrible? Yeah, he offended the dopey folk song "purists" like that idiot Pete Seeger by playing an electric guitar but is that really so bad? Also, if you SAW the documentary, Dylan did NOT get involved with the leftwing protests. He just played his music and figured it was enough to entertain people.
Same here. I had not known previously that he was so apolitical, just assumed he was a leftist like all the others, because for all those years I was pretty apolitical myself and paid no attention to the left-wingnuts.
An interesting tidbit that came out in this documentary was that BD said he wanted to go to a military school (he said West Point, but that he could never have gotten in) and maybe die in a far-off land as a soldier. What a shocker coming from someone who I thought was a leftist revolutionary.
Good for Bob that he refused to be a pawn in the left's game.
