A Zohran Mamdani Ad Used a Bob Dylan Song. The Music Was Removed. New York’s next mayor played “The Times They Are a-Changin’” in a spot on social media. The company that owns Dylan’s catalog said his songs can’t be used for politics.

One of my personal spiciest takes is that Bob Dylan is a misogynist asshole to a point that it negates his actual songwriting regardless of how good it may seem
now that is the height of irony.
What a gotcha this article is. While Trump does it constantly…
Because Dylan is a zionist
Bob has spent near 60 years trying to distance himself from politics after he got championed as the next big protest singer (no shit, you performed at the march on washington) so this really doesn’t surprise me. Dude just does his own thing for better or worse (mostly worse).
So use the Simon and Garfunkel version instead!
Lol why does this headline read like a 5-year-old nerd telling on you to the teacher.
No problem, he’s already mayor elect! Next song!
Jakob stays the superior Dylan.
Bob Dylan is one of my biggest “separate the art from the artist” struggles because sections of the art are SO good but then even like the tiniest corner of your eye look at the artist is like “I should burn all these records”
“The company that owns his catalogue” what a dystopian sentence.
Okay, but Dylan sold his catalogue and has no control. Regardless of any of his own views.
Bob Dylan has always been a fake hippie.
TIL bob dylan is still alive
