…yet Maureen Dowd is still angry that he “sold out” while playing two shows in China by allowing government officials to pre-approve his set list. Oddly enough, Dowd then goes on to explain how Dylan hasn’t really been a protest singer anyway since 1964 or so, and that he has spend the rest of his career defying critics who attempt to pigeonhole him as such.  So why the outrage?
