Direct quote from Bob, “My favorite politician was Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater.” Who by the way voted for 12 Civil Rights acts, so it isn’t like support of the idea of civil rights in itself makes you a liberal.
Using events from 20 years before to make a declaration about someone’s politics is a very iffy proposition when there is not a whole lot to go on. And now we are at 45 years later, to think his politics stayed static that long, provided he was ever deeply political seems tough. My stance would be that he is pretty apolitical. Generally when people try to pin him down he just plays with them. His interview with Jann Wenner from a few years ago is pretty funny in that respect.
There you go again - trying to be all logical and factual on a Dylan thread.
