Doesn't help at all. It only prompts the question: How do you know this?

So far, both Kinky Friedman and Chabad have supported Trump. Where do you get this knowledge that Bob doesn't?

Can you explain the connection to Dylan's politics? I don't see any.

>Where do you get this knowledge that Bob doesn't?

"Hello, I'm Bob Dylan. Trump is not my President."
"Hello, I'm Bob Dylan. I support our President."
Perhaps he loses a few fans with the second. The interest in Dylan's politics seems pretty weak these days.

Bob is interested in making money. Taking a public position either way jeopardizes record sales and is clearly not in his interest; not taking a public position either way has helped us to get to where we are today.

It's easy to shrug atlas, after you've made your money.

Then why have so many entertainers who are also interested in making money taken public positions? Who would be buying fewer Dylan albums -- the Dylan faithful?

K. Here is a reasonably correct answer.

How would anybody here know, absent a direct statement from Bob and reported in "the Media", or to a close personal acquaintance of which none of us is.

Shalom & Erev tov...you are, predictably, babbling because, like 'MRick', the penultimate mythical nastionalsozialist troll, you don't know what you are talking about.

Hey Stephan,

Peace and good appropriate time of day to you as well.

"Normally" i wouldn't reply to such a post, but i'm thinking it needs clarification.

Not out of spite or anger, but simply because it's true.

I thought my analIsis was pretty spot on.

There was no point arguing with Dave (Van Ronk), not intellectually anyway. I had a primitive way of looking at things and I liked country fair politics. My favorite politician was Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater, who reminded me of Tom Mix, and there wasn’t any way to explain that to anybody. I wasn’t that comfortable with all the psycho polemic babble.

I was more of a Hopalong Cassidy kind of guy.

Stephan Pickering. You have to keep in mind that he doesn't know the meaning of the words on his note cards and frequently misuses them. He is old and dim.

Priceless, Rich, even though I sometimes believe my own veiled persona deserves similar ridicule.

Hopalong had quite a few fans, but it looks like Bob styled himself after the Paladin, Richard Boone.

Me? I always favored the natives...

Or maybe after the guy whose show for six years followed Richard Boone's on Saturday night.

"According to Daniel Mark Epstein in his biography, "The Ballad of Bob Dylan," the switch from Zimmerman to Dylan began back when Dylan was 17 or 18.

"As the front man for of his rockabilly-blues garage band, The Golden Chords, Bobby Zimmerman was the typical James Dean-posing rocker, playing high school talent shows and trying to impress the chicks. Even at that young age, Dylan had an amazing natural sense about the importance of image for entertainers. He groomed himself accordingly: it was all about the look and the appeal. Paramount to all, was the name.

"At the time, wrote Epstein, “He was a great fan of Matt Dillon, the sheriff of the television series "Gunsmoke." In 1958, he confided to his high school sweetheart [Echo Helstrom] that he planned to devote his life to music, adding that 'I know what I'm going to call myself. I've got this great name—Bob Dillon.' That was how he told new friends to spell his (assumed) last name. He also told them that Dillon was his mother's maiden name (it wasn't), and that Dillon was a town in Oklahoma (it isn't).”
