I liked it when we didn't know their political views especially after they became popular.

A final note on replies here:

We won't all agree on what's good music, and that's fine. It would be a very boring world if we all agreed.

But it's important that people here respect others' preferences in music, both specific music and the artists who created it. Even if you don't like an artist and feel you can't appreciate their music as a result, please understand that other people might not share your opinion of the artist..and even if they do, they might able to separate the artist and the music enough to still enjoy the music. Please accept that and don't feel you have to weigh in with negative opinions and comments. No one has to look at any of the threads here, let alone listen to any music or artists they don't like.

Enjoy your stay.

P.S. your post is a lie.

To our knowledge, Bob Dylan has only mentioned Donald Trump once – passing reference in his book Chronicles. As ever, the gnomic wisdom of Dylan is perceptive – he wrote:

“I mean, who’s the last individual performer that you can think of – Elton John, maybe? I’m talking about artists with the willpower not to conform to anybody’s reality but their own. Patsy Cline and Billy Lee Riley. Plato and Socrates, Whitman and Emerson. Slim Harpo and Donald Trump. It’s a lost art form. I don’t know who else does it beside myself, to tell you the truth.”

Or perhaps another line from Bob Dylan serves the present occasion: “Steal a little and they throw you in jail / Steal a lot and they make you a king.”

But MAGAs have trolled Bob Dylan, "Like a Trolling Stone", etc.
