You appear to have a distinctly different impression of "conservative" thought than I do. The reality is that the Beatles lyrics reflect a socialist rhetoric and ideology. Socialism and Conservatism are clearly opposite sides of the political spectrum. I urge you to compare the John Lennon lyrics in "Imagine" to the Communist Manifesto. I think you will find it educational.

Everywhere is freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies
tell me where is sanity
Tax the rich, feed the poor
'til there are no rich no more

I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you

Population keeps on breeding
Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy

Life is funny, skies are sunny
Bees make honey, who needs money
(...no not for me)
I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you

World pollution, there's no solution
Institution, electrocution
Just black and white, rich or poor
Them and us, stop the war

I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you

hmmmmm....ok

does he vote republican? how would i know?

the songs are not left wing, and many others on this thread have said the same.

for example, on the 5th album:

johnny's in the basement, mixin' up the medicine

i'm out on the pavement, thinkin' 'bout the governmint

look out kid, it's somethin' you did

the liberal sentiment at the time was with the druggies. and dylan was clearly sending a warning.

Slayer has an anti-abortion song called "The Silent Scream." I forget which album it is on though . . .

. .and I've never read anything about Dylan (and I've read a lot) to suggest that he is conservative.

Apart from a "Born Again" fling, there is nothing in Dylan's personal or public life that points to anything other than liberalism.

Surprise, surprise.

Had he not existed, we would be poorer for it.

TRUST ME ON THIS!

George Wallace was a pro-segregation democrat(although he changed before he died on it).

"...But those were different times..." The lyrics are NOSTALGIC...

Well it was what -- around 1974? Betcha that means amidst some of that "nostalgia" you were either firing one up, OR washin' one down :-D
