As Beyonce and Bruce skip to the side of Clinton, and Ted Nugent grabs his crotch for Trump, it's refreshing that there is no likelihood of Bob "I've lived through a lot of presidents" Dylan getting involved with any of them.
It's best put by Andrew Kirell in his look at Dylan's refusal to be goaded into taking sides in a Rolling Stone interview that spent an inordinate amount of time asking him about Barack Obama.
Kirell writes: "His reluctance to play the game should serve as inspiration for those of us who feel disillusioned with a two-party system that has become, at its core, a competition amongst used car salesmen.
"Platitudes are exchanged, harsh words are spewed, the promise of 'reform' is parroted over and over again, but nothing ever really changes. And if it does, it’s not because some politician in a big office made it so. Dylan understands that."
