Does It Matter If Bob Dylan Supports Obama?
The wad of celebrity endorsements Barack Obama has in his back pocket got a bit thicker once rock legend Bob Dylan told The Times of London that Obama was "redefining the nature of politics from the ground up."
Now for the real question: Are times really a-changin' so much that McCain supporters will swap sides to Barack n' Roll?
Just recently The Weekly Standard's blog chided "failed kingmaker" Bruce Springsteen for his political outspokenness, while praising Dylan for making the "smart career move" of never publicly supporting a candidate.
So much for rocker silence; now for the echo.
