Another interview and another attempt to reveal Bob Dylan as an alien life form took place in Denmark recently. I guess for some people ridiculing a smart guy is an easy way to feel smarter. Why Bob Dylan can't simply be accepted for what he chooses to reveal of himself will always be a mystery to me.
But why I really bring this up is that he said some nice things about Senator Obama in the interview. He Said, "Well, you know right now America is in a state of upheaval, poverty is demoralizing. You can't expect people to have the same virtue of purity when they are poor. But we've got this guy out there right now who is redefining the nature of politics from the ground up... Barack Obama. He's redefining what a politician is , so we'll have to see how things play out. Am I hopeful? Yes, I'm hopeful that things might change. Some things are going to have to."This is according to the UK's Times Online.
I think I've mentioned before that I value Bob Dylan's opinion. Not as worship as many others have over the years but for his intelligence which can't be ignored. He doesn't seem to "tilt the windmill" so to speak, indicating that his thoughts are directed from within. This reliance is preferable to dependence on external forces for ideas. One only has to listen to him or read his lyrics to understand this.
