London: Bob Dylan believes Barack Obama is redefining politics in the United States and could deliver change to a nation in upheaval, according to a British newspaper interview published on Saturday.
In an interview with The Times, the musician is quoted as saying that Obama has changed politics in the United States, though Dylan does not specifically endorse the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. "Well, you know right now America is in a state of upheaval. Poverty is demoralising. You can't expect people to have the virtue of purity when they are poor," Dylan is quoted as saying.
"But we've got this guy out there now who is redefining the nature of politics from the ground up ... Barack Obama," he was quoted as saying. "He's redefining what a politician is, so we'll have to see how things play out. Am I hopeful? Yes, I'm hopeful that things might change. Some things are going to have to." The newspaper said the interview took place in Denmark during Dylan's tour of Scandinavia. "You should always take the best from the past, leave the worst back there and go forward into the future," Dylan said, referring to Obama's campaign.
Apology: Printerror
The editor and publisher of The Detroit News says he has apologised for a headline error in early morning editions about Barack Obama.
Jonathan Wolman says the headline incorrectly read "Clinton, Osama meet to discuss unity" and appeared on Friday on page 17A of about 45,000 newspapers. The News planned to run a correction on Saturday.
