LOL

99% of his songs are apolitical. In his memoirs he talks about how much he admired Barry Goldwater. He’s written songs in support of Israel and Evangelical Christianity. He wanted nothing to do with the hippies.

I think you are wrong about that. I have heard him a few times in interviews and he seemed to have rather conservative views. I don’t believe he is a left winger.

Dylan was left of center In the early to middle 60s, mostly in reaction to the Jim Crow laws still in force at the time. Heck, Charlton Heston marched with King and was proud if that till the day he died. Personal freedoms and all that.

Bob’s music matured in the late 60s through the 70s into some real good stuff. Though his vocal styling were NEVER his forte.
