Sorry, misunderstood. I thought you were saying that there were statements from Goldwater admiring Castro.
What Dylan has said recently doesn't count for much against his career as one of the most prominent figures of counterculture. He has written so many songs against injustice, yet not one word for the enslaved nation that is our near neighbor. The silence is telling, in my opinion.

His career as a folk singer writing protest songs lasted all of about a year. Outside of Hurricane they are all on The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan (May 1963) and The Times They Are A’Changin’ (Jan. 1964). After that there was a marked turn away from political themes or songs about injustice within his music. I think that is often forgotten and it is strange since that work still overshadows his other work which is both much larger and much better.

His role as a countercultural icon wasn’t one he asked for and he was never at the marches and so on like Joan Baez.

So you are just making it up, we do know that Bob Dylan’s favorite politician in the 60s was Goldwater, but you, we don’t know anything about at all.
