What? Was that article written by an AI? Your comment as well seems completely disconnected from the New Yorker piece and a flimsy excuse to use Dylan for your own gains. This is the type of behavior that drove Dylan away from the protest movements in the 60s.
- recuter 4y agoQuite so, Bob is foremost a troubadour who hated being called the 'voice of a generation' and the certain brand of hippies who titled him as such. Talk about missing the point.
- photochemsyn 4y agoThere are about a hundred other articles on Bob Dylan and his anti-Vietnam war protest songs, if you don't like that particlar one. Here's something from a decade ago for example: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/apr/10/anti-war-icon-bob-dylan-jams-in-a-vietnam-at-peace/ https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/apr/10/anti-war-ic... > "HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM (AP) - Bob Dylan, whose anti-war anthems made him the face of protest against a war that continues to haunt a generation of Americans, finally got his chance to see Vietnam - at peace." Isn't it just a little bit odd that a New Yorker retrospective piece on Bob Dylan doesn't even mention Vietnam? And isn't that most likely due to the corporate media cheerleading for escalation of the war in Ukraine?
