altho' embraced by liberals, bob dylan was always a conservative, long before conservatism became popular.

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?
