Bob Dylan says: " Barack Obama is 'changin' America". He has backed the Illinois senator to do for modern America what the generation before did in the 1960s.
Times interview: Dylan gives a ringing endorsement to Mr Obama, the first ever black presidential candidate, claiming he is "redefining the nature of politics from the ground up".
Asked about his views on American politics, he said: "Well, you know right now America is in a state of upheaval. Poverty is demoralising. You can't expect people to have the virtue of purity when they are poor".
"But we've got this guy out there now who is redefining the nature of politics from the ground up...Barack Obama."He's redefining what a politician is, so we'll have to see how things play out. Am I hopeful? Yes, I'm hopeful that things might change. Some things are going to have to."
He added: “You should always take the best from the past, leave the worst back there and go forward into the future."
Dylan's endorsement contains much symbolic significance. The legendary singer-songwriter, who has an art exhibition opening in London next week, became a focal point for young people worldwide when he released the album 'The times they are a-changin'," including the famous song of that name, in 1964.
The track, which he wrote as the social liberation of the '60s astonished politicians and parents, included lines urging people to accept and embrace what was happening around them.
Memorable lines included: "Come senators, congressmen, please heed the call. Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall," and: "Come mothers and fathers throughout the land, and don't criticise what you can't understand. Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command. Your old road is rapidly agin'."
Dylan songs are played loud and proud by all the hope and change leftwing moonbats.
Dylan says “Dreams of My Father” piqued his interest in Obama, but that doesn’t mean the ever-irascible singer-songwriter is suddenly buying into politics as an agent for change.
“Politics creates more problems than it solves. It can be counter-productive,” Dylan told Flanagan in this excerpt, which can be found on BobDylan.com (the full interview can also be downloaded and read via .pdf). “The real power is in the hands of small groups of people and I don’t think they have titles.”

Dylan did not endorse him. Asked if he would be a good president, his answer is “I don’t know”. Dylan was a helluva lot more glowing about getting an “honorary Texan” award from George Bush than anything he’s said about Obama.

Goodness gracious, you respond just like dem people over at DU, you can’t stand dissenting views.. I give Dylan’s view on politics the same consideration I give Sarah Palin’s views on music.
