Bob had a few good things to say about Zero a couple of years ago; perhaps he's wised up.

Actually, he made a couple of typical, cryptic comments and certain ones (as is their wont) "interpreted" them. If you care to find and post those "few good things" we can talk about that.

There was an interview with Timesonline wherein Dylan not only gets the title of Obama's book wrong, but apparently swallows wholesale and unquestioningly the fiction contained within.

In other words, typical Bob Dylan pseudo-intellectual pap.

BF: You liked Barack Obama early on. Why was that?

BD: I’d read his book and it intrigued me.

BF: Audacity of Hope?

BD: No it was called Dreams of My Father.

BF: What struck you about him?

BD: Well, a number of things. He’s got an interesting background. He’s like a fictional character, but he’s real. First off, his mother was a Kansas girl. Never lived in Kansas though, but with deep roots. You know, like Kansas bloody Kansas. John Brown the insurrectionist. Jesse James and Quantrill. Bushwhackers, Guerillas. Wizard of Oz Kansas. I think Barack has Jefferson Davis back there in his ancestry someplace. And then his father. An African intellectual. Bantu, Masai, Griot type heritage - cattle raiders, lion killers. I mean it’s just so incongruous that these two people would meet and fall in love. You kind of get past that though. And then you’re into his story. Like an odyssey except in reverse.

BF: In what way?

BD: First of all, Barack is born in Hawaii. Most of us think of Hawaii as paradise – so I guess you could say that he was born in paradise.

Dylan and Obama
