OK, it's a bit of a stretch, but it's amusing.

Click here to check out a post on the New Yorker's site featuring a side by side comparison of the cover of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, with a photo of the Obama's walking down Pennsylvania Ave. during the Inaugural Parade.

Just as his girlfriend Suze Rotolo clutches onto Dylan's arm, Michelle Obama braves the frigid temperatures of Inauguration Day, clutching on to her husband.

Aw.

Incidentally, you may also want to remind people of Suze Rotolo's book (using this picture also). Very different stories.

ok....so Obama getting elected IS GREAT! seriously, i voted for him. hopefully the next 4 years are great and turn into an outstanding 8 years, then into a Rooseveltesque 12...who knows?
BUT...lets not forget, he's a politician.
yup, its true. a good one at that....real good. now, politicians aren't all bad, there've been some great ones. but, mostly bad, and their motives are usually very self important. my point?
lets not link this guy up with rock stars....like dylan. its not fair to him, the artist, or the fans.
they both may inspire and may be compared as such....but lets' not...ok?
