Don’t quite see how it is relevant to a discussion about Dylan.

We are discussing what political icons Bob Dylan admires. You have said that he likes Che and Castro. To me that seems strange since he is on record saying his favorite politician was Barry Goldwater. That seems pretty relevant to a discussion about Dylan and his politics.

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.
