Reviews of the biopic of Bob Dylan by John Podhoretz and Michael Moynihan.
I was a fan of folk music, but not of the folk musicians’ politics. Seeger regretted his strident Stalinism (to the degree he actually did) far too late.

I liked Moynihan’s review on THP. Esp. the documented reaction by his 13 y/o daughter to the movie. lol. There is hope for our younger generation.
Communism has definitely lost its sheen….
This land is your land,
This land is my land.
That means that nobody,
has any land.
You’ll get what I give you.
And like it or starve.
From the redwood forest to the gulf stream waters,
Some people, our brother and our sisters,
have more need than you…
Oops that’s The Free Press… TFP…
