I'd strongly disagree with that statement. In the past he was very left-wing and sang songs like "George Jackson" praising the thug and "the Hurricane" which was another paean to a killer. He sang at Clinton's inaugural, and I've never read anything about Dylan (and I've read a lot) to suggest that he is conservative. Where is your proof?

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.

. .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!
