They mention Bob & Clint at 2:20 or so for anyone who doesn't feel like sitting thru 27:32 of bullshit. And the bastards don't clap for Bob or Clint, but they clap for Nancy Pelosi, so don't worry. I wish they would've showed up and told them to shove the award. LONG LIVE B.D. & C.E.!!!

Obama thinks he can just call on anyone, like Bob and Clint would just be begging to attend, WHY the hell would Bob Dylan attend any form of political anything. Hello!! wake the hell up obama he wrote for three decades about how he hated politicians and how they are all liars. Have you ever heard a Dylan Song?

[MerkinMuffly]

For all the racists on here, you realize Dylan was involved in the Freedom Rides in the south to protest the treatment of blacks in the south? Do the songs, "Oxford Town" and "Only a Pawn in Their Game" ring a bell? Do you also realize that Clint Eastwood was in the Eiger Sanction, a movie where he had sex with a black woman?

Bob Dylan and Clint Eastwood are not suck-ups. They are artists. They're not somebody's lapdog. They are two incredibly, unbelievably talented men who couldn't give a rat's ass about what somebody from the establishment thinks about them.

@poeticreject actually Bob dylan did accept an award from President Obama, it was all over the papers because he just walked on stage accepted his award, and hop'd off without saying anything.

Dylan does not sell out, the only time he ever came to selling out was when he released his song "things have changed" but that was only to parody the idea that we all sell out, its something that can't be helped, even not selling out, creates an image that is a sell out. Dylan isnt a sell out, he is an artist, and the greatest songwriter in history, that is all, the only thing he sold out on was this fake public image that people forced upon him

@lionsome

okay a few days ago, you didnt even know who he was, good job exposing your trollness. and second by your own stated rational, if Dylan is Judas, then we are Jesus?

@lionsome

I was answering your "who is Bob Dylan" question

@timeWaster76

you strike me as a person that missed out on the relevant decade of topic, and now reflect your own generation onto this one, as if it is relevant, and oh yes I forgot that the president sums up what America is.. I'm sorry.. you're very right. Nixon summed up a hell of a lot of it.. good day
