Just curious...what left wing causes does Dylan promote?

Which left wing politicians did he ever endorse? He has never campaigned for any politician.

Just because he was critical of certain people/organizations (and the 2 you cited definitely deserve criticism) doesn't make him a raving leftist.

A number of years ago, I saw a PBS special on Dylan.

I, too, figured he was a raging lefty, until I saw the interview.

I remember calling my wife into the room, and telling her "I could have a beer with this guy! "

Dylan seemed quite decent and normal.

Several years ago the Weekly Standard (yeah, I know) did a long article on Dylan's politics. They concluded that to the extent he's partisan at all he leans toward the right. An interesting piece.

Didn’t Dylan hint he supported Romney in 2012. I recall him saying he thought Romney would win just a few days before the election. Also Dylan converted to Christianity at one point in his life.
