I wouldn't put too much credit to it. The Left celebrated Dylan but found he couldn't be used.

But that isn't the first time he's been accused of clairvoyance. He did actually begin performing A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall some time before the Cuban Missile Crisis. Creeped a lot of people out.

There are some people who don't like his voice - the Guardian once called it a "catarrhal death rattle." I sense a certain negativity there...

I actually have one of his CDs, but only care for a handful of songs. Yes, his voice on some tunes can curl the varnish off a coffee table.

In his song about boxer 'Hurricane Carter', he has a line: "and to the white folks, he was just a revolutionary bum". I suspect Carter, like many black (and white) celebs today, had ties to some revolutionary orgs.
