Bob Dylan's interesting political observations

I downloaded a bunch of his interviews and these three quotes jumped out at me...

"America is not like that anymore. But what happened, happened so fast that people are still trying to figure it out. The TV media wasn't so big then. It's like the only thing people knew was what they knew; then suddenly people were being told what to think, how to behave, there's too much information.”

"There's a lot of different gods that people are subjects of. There's the god of mammon. Corporations are gods. Governments? No, governments don't have much to do with it anymore, I don't think. Politics is a hoax. The politicians don't have any real power. They feed you all this stuff in the newspapers about what's going on, but that's not what's really going on.”

“I don't know if even Masters Of War is a political song. Politics of *what*? If there is such a thing as politics, what is it politics of? Is it spiritual politics? Automotive politics? Governmental politics? What kind of politics? Where does those word come from, politics? Is this a Greek word or what? What does it actually *mean*? I don't know what the fuck it means. Left, right, rebel. Some people are rebels. Let's see, Afghanistan are rebels, but they're OK. Nicaragua's got rebels and they're OK. Their rebels are all right. But in El Salvador the rebels are the bad guys. Nicaragua, the rebels are the good guys. If you listen to that stuff you go crazy. You don't even know who *you* are anymore. It don't make any sense to me. I don't see good guy, bad guy. It's that Dave Mason song ‘There ain't no good guy, there ain't no bad guy, there's only you and me and we just disagree’. True or what?”
