...perhaps.

I just grabbed two entertainers who never shut the %$%^& up ...and whom people seem to enjoy listening to, for reasons that remain utterly beyond my grasp. I can't think of a single living entertainer whose views on politics I would find worth listening to...but that's just me.

Dylan has no clue just like the wind..he cannot predict where it comes from or where it’s going to...He shammed himself years ago in trying to predict where salvation comes from. He almost had it...then he recanted. What a wishy, washy man he is!

Interestingly, Dylan is believed to have fathered an African-American child in the 1980s with then backup singer/girlfriend Carolyn Dennis, according to a biography by Howard Sounes. Dylan has never denied the claim, though he rarely comments willingly on his private life.

Uh, he recanted? Recanted what?

"In return Mr Obama described the singer as an icon, and boasted of having “probably 30 Dylan songs on my iPod”, including “the entire Blood on the Tracks album”."

Hey Ogabe.....IDIOT WIND is your theme song.

Obama is Icarus....hmmmmmm

"If this is true, why do we continue to import it into this country?

Man, isnt' that the truth. I get a kick out of the media complaining about the top 1% now making about 24% of total earned income - a huge increase from 1960.

But, they always leave out the fact that the county's population has almost doubled since then with a great percentage of the increase coming directly from the poorest countries on the planet. They also leave out the fact that the wealthiest are reproducing at a much lower rate than the poorest.

I'm actually surprised that the top 1% doesn't have more.

Since we’re “all into” passing laws without regard to the Constitution nowadays, I’d like to propose that:

Celebrity’s shall, from this moment forward, be restricted from speaking, appearing, donating, or campaigning, in any way, shape or form, on the behalf of any Politician(s), and/or in any way lending their influence to the passage, or denial of passage, of any bill, referendum, proposition, law, regulation, or any other legally binding vehicle that would cause an effect on another American Citizen to occur.

How many votes must one man cast, before he says...

Oh but it’s sad when a love affair dies
The decline into silence and doubt
Our passion was just too intense to survive

"Overcome by the giddiness that flying lent him, Icarus soared through the sky curiously, but in the process he came too close to the sun, which melted the wax. Icarus kept flapping his wings but soon realized that he had no feathers left and that he was only flapping his bare arms. And so, Icarus fell into the sea in the area which bears his name, the Icarian Sea nea Icaria, an island southwest of Samos.[1]"

That’s half the problem Piss. Guys like Dylon know what the current media does with their words and that even a minor proclamation of approval will be skewed as full blown support. He just left himself a way out in case O-Nuts was a flop.

Sung to the tune of “Subterranean homesick blues”

Barry’s in the White House
Mixing up his medicine
I’m on my deck porch
Thinking about his government

Man in a trench coat
Watchin’ from the other house
Spying on me
Seeing if I’ll flee

Look out, Bob, kid
Mistake what you did
Endorsing Barry got me burned
He’s had his coat turned

The tax man comes to the door
He walks on my floor
He wants eleven million dollars
I only got ten.

Trust me - - Dylan never “liked” Dumbo. He was asked a few questions, made some vaguely optimistic comments, and then the scumbag reporter’s imagination did the rest, turning Dylan into a Dumbo supporter. Never happened.
