Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall," and: "Come mothers and fathers throughout the land, and don't criticise what you can't understand. Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command. Your old road is rapidly agin'."
- Surferess, on 06/05/2008, -17/+92I rarely pay attention to the political leanings of entertainers, but I think Dylan is an incredible sage.
- alapoet, on 06/05/2008, -15/+87What a plum endorsement for Obama! Those of you who, like me, have followed Dylan for 40+ years will realize what a big deal this is. Like Springsteen (who ALSO recently endorsed Obama), Dylan just doesn't DO endorsements.
I think we can divine from these extraordinary endorsements just how important November's election is to us, to the future, and to the world. - macaca, on 06/06/2008, -6/+52♪♫ "I dont wanna work Hillary's farm no nore......." ♪♫
- shutaro, on 06/06/2008, -6/+39It's a very thymely endorsement.
- kingmanic, on 06/06/2008, -1/+31What an oreganol comment.
- MaynardJK, on 06/06/2008, -19/+49This is nice and all, but I am waiting to see who Britney Spears endorses before I make up my mind. I find that people who would be working for minimum wage if they weren't famous are the only ones that are smart enough to do my thinking for me.
Celebrities should shut the ***** up with their political views. - sandersdamnit, on 06/06/2008, -0/+25♪♫ "She's sixty-five but she says she's fifty four"♫
- kraftj, on 06/06/2008, -2/+26This endorsement made me cummin my pants.
- Crosshare, on 06/06/2008, -2/+21I agree with where you're going but it's not even a close comparison with somebody like Dylan who has been involved in politics most of his life and somebody who says "umm, yeah... I think we should just trust what the president says and not question it" As Lewis Black has said, somebody has to die for that comment from her.
- pintomp3, on 06/06/2008, -2/+20the endorsement does not curry any favor with me.
- Pimpalicious316, on 06/06/2008, -1/+17This is quite a spicy comment tree.
- pintomp3, on 06/06/2008, -0/+15it is peppered with puns
- inactive, on 06/06/2008, -9/+22Yeah, whatever. Let me know when Van Halen has made their endorsement.
- tillerman00, on 06/06/2008, -0/+11♫ she says 'sing while you slave' but i just get bored,
ahhhh, i ain't gonna work on Clinton's farm no more ♫ - pintomp3, on 06/06/2008, -1/+12you act as if the pundits on the cables news are any more qualified. people should vote on issues, but celebrities have just as much right to speak as anyone else.
- jaybol, on 06/06/2008, -4/+15the sun's not yellow, it's chicken
- kidblast, on 06/06/2008, -1/+12I don't believe you. You're a liar!
- AndrewDB, on 06/06/2008, -0/+10You guys sure are peppering digg with some pretty flavorful comments.
- Ganpachi, on 06/06/2008, -4/+13Considering that he built his career and reputation on political activism, I would say that he is definitely an expert
- merlin5, on 06/06/2008, -2/+11"But even the President of the United States sometimes must have to stand naked."
Bob Dylan - kingmanic, on 06/06/2008, -2/+11Consider how the majority of the pundits and analysts out there are just pretty talking heads who blew producers to make their way, you could do worse then Bob Dylan for advice/opinion.
- lazyfisherman, on 06/06/2008, -2/+11Bob Dylan = Legendary musician who wrote some of the world's most famous songs (political or otherwise), influenced an entire generation of boomer politicians and helped reshape the political landscape as we know it.
Britney Spears = Attractive pop star who barely writes her own songs, famous for her ability to dance and, lately, for being an idiot.
You = Idiot - tizle, on 06/06/2008, -4/+12I have to say, i take exception to the fact that Obama is called the first "Black" presidential candidate. In his case, it is not a big deal that he is black. WHile a lot of black people voted for him, he has NEVER represented himself as a Black candidate or for that matter a Democratic candidate. He has always said that he is American and wants to represent Americans. He has always advocated that despite our differences, we are one. That's why I respect him so much and couldn't quite care less about his color.
- Sairynn, on 06/06/2008, -3/+11"Their all ***** idiots."
LOL irony - dinot, on 06/06/2008, -1/+8Let's not forget this one:
"Let Me Hold You Midget Man
We'll pretend that you're flyin in space
Let Me Hold You Little Man
So the dog will stop licking your face" - Cattywampus, on 06/06/2008, -2/+9"Bob Dylan is not a celebrity."
Huh? His concert tickets and records still sell well, musicians still clamor to have him appear on their albums and at their concerts, his autobiography was widely reviewed, when he makes an appearance in public it gets covered in the news, etc. How is he NOT a celebrity? - iceooo3, on 06/06/2008, -3/+10So you vote for McCain then?
In this country, we have 2 choices only, the douchbag or the terd sammich... but in this race, I seriously cannot see one valid reason for McCain to even be given the opportunity, other than present day shady-ness by power hungry stakeholders. - kimbellina, on 06/06/2008, -1/+7My mom was a fan of Clinton, and was even considering voting for McCain over Obama... But, she's obsessed with Bob Dylan, and as of when I sent her this article 5 minutes ago, she's all for Obama. This will make discussing politics with my parents much more pleasant.
- Macrophage, on 06/05/2008, -12/+18Bob Dylan AND Joan Baez you count'nt ask for better.
No Sir Elton John for me...Thanx!
PEACE
John - SupaFupa, on 06/06/2008, -1/+7Blood on the Tracks sucks? I'll agree with you after '75, but your missing out on one of, if not the best albums he made. Nashville Skyline is up there too. Bob never stayed in one place for too long with his music. I think thats one of his best qualities.
- shutaro, on 06/06/2008, -0/+6I'm not certain that it cuts the mustard, but I don't think it'll hurt Obama's lovage any.
- coolkatz321, on 06/06/2008, -1/+7Well, this actually puts this former Clinton supporter and avid Bob Dylan fan well over the edge for supporting Obama. Dylan has never endorsed anyone, and has generally kept his stance generally unknown...but to endorse Obama... it's VERY impressive.
- coolkatz321, on 06/06/2008, -1/+6No man, DYLAN endorsed him, NOT Clapton.
- inactive, on 06/06/2008, -4/+9Dylan and Lennon in a car,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8OkqwY0tvc
hilarious video, I wish I could have hung out with these guys - tech42er, on 06/06/2008, -0/+5They're very ginger with their comments.
- allengeer, on 06/06/2008, -2/+7well, the Republican are all about curbing Gov't Spending, yet they don't do that.
- incredibilistic, on 06/06/2008, -1/+6Way to disagree with an iconic rock legend. You deserve cool points for standing up against Dylan and with such a convincing argument to boot.
Breathe in the sarcasm like the coffee you need to inhale to wake up to the idea that Obama is going to be next president of the United States and unless the Elephant party can come up with something better he'll serve a second term too. - sandersdamnit, on 06/06/2008, -0/+5mail boxes drip like lamp posts around the somethin somethin of the colliseum, rim job fairies somethin somethin oh say can you see 'em
- ancalagon73, on 06/06/2008, -0/+4And the only one dumber than Bush.
- porkdanish, on 06/06/2008, -0/+4It's not the celebrities who should shut up -- they have as much right as you or me to voice their opinions.
It's the media that lends credence to them (even when I happen to agree with what they say) that should stop pandering to the pop world and get back to reporting news. - dinot, on 06/06/2008, -2/+6So if I use my brain, am I letting anonymous internet losers influence my decisions?
- jayfarer, on 06/06/2008, -1/+5Because Obama doesn't come from the same system all the other candidates came from. He came from the world of community organizing and was lucky enough to be thrust upon the national stage thanks to John Kerry picking him to give a keynote speech, and he's using that fame to go for the highest office in the land.
Because he DOES have a good track record. He's reached across the aisle to create bills with Lugar, with Hagel, with all kinds of people. If you want a deconstructive analysys of his votes in the senate, you can look here:

And if you think engaging in non-illegal activities with a shady donor and having a typically angry and enthusiastic priest is "shady history", oh my god have you been following politics or read history at all? - inactive, on 06/06/2008, -4/+8Problem is, most want more government intrusion. Most want Mother Government to suckle them from the cradle to the grave. Most are turning into girly-men. They don't want to stand on their own two feet. Most are socialists at heart and won't admit it. Most are too dumbed down to realize it.
- sandersdamnit, on 06/06/2008, -2/+6nobody liked his music in the first place? Are you stupid or ignorant. Of course people like his music, i'm one of the one's who LOVE his music you ***** twit. This man played right before King gave his I have a dream speech and, "You're not quite the intellectual that your drug-impaired mind says you are." what the ***** does that even mean he never claims to be anything and has never supported politicians before. I think that you're not quite the intellectual your right wing semen soaked mind says YOU are my friend. make a ***** point if you are going to post, idiot
- sandersdamnit, on 06/06/2008, -1/+5Yeah because ***** bumper stickers with a white W were never trendy or anything.
- kds405, on 06/06/2008, -0/+4Bob Dylan is not a "celeb". If you knew anything about him at all you'd care what he had to say.
- DreKor, on 06/06/2008, -2/+6Better music at campaign stops
