Bob Dylan has avoided talking politics for so long that most people have forgotten this particular ditty of his off the album, Infidels.
Well, he knocked out a lynch mob, he was criticized
Old women condemned him, said he should apologize.
Then he destroyed a bomb factory, nobody was glad
The bombs were meant for him. He was supposed to feel bad
So this little story shouldn’t come as much of a surprise.
While the BDS movement and Pink Floyd’s execrable Roger Waters tried to intimidate the Stones into cancelling their stop in Tel Aviv, one artist was clear-sighted and noble, and encouraged them to go there.
Ronnie Wood, guitarist for The Rolling Stones, revealed Monday that Bob Dylan put the idea in the Stones’ circle to include Israel as a tour stop.
In an interview with Channel 2 in response to written questions ahead of the Stones’ Israel debut on June 4, Wood said that one time after seeing Dylan perform, the singer made the suggestion.
He was coming offstage and said “we’re going to Tel Aviv.” He had a big smile on his face, and he said he loved it there,” said Wood. “I said, we’ve never been there, so we’ll have to go play there one day, so there you go.”
And Roger Waters loses again. Dylan got more done in one line than Waters did in years. That’s true of more than just this.
