To me the author sounds like another Canadian trying to premise his thesis on "what Americans think" and getting it only half right which is another way of saying he gets it wrong.

Take a gander at the articles/editorials found in the Toronto Sun....they are -- largely -- on the RIGHT SIDE of the political spectrum....

I realize that.

But in reference to this article, I know musicians can influence opinion and behavior.

I think Sir Bob is a goof who had one(?) hit record and cannot get his face on TV any other way than these aid concerts.

But music by John Lennon and Bob Dylan (even though his music was often misinterpreted and used by others) was absolutely part of the Vietnam antiwar scene in the USA in the sixties and seventies and had a very big influence on young people there joining the antiwar movement.
