Although Dylan was continuously highlighted and viewed as a "protest singer and songwriter", he constantly rejected it. From Dylan, “I define nothing. Not beauty, not patriotism. I take each thing as it is, without prior rules about what it should be.” He did not want to be perceived as that and at the very height of the anti-war protests, Dylan went "electric" as some would say. All of his songs before 1965 were seen as protest songs, but after 1965, it takes a turn. He was through with the politics and folk style music, but still, his music was used in anti-war protests in Vietnam. Why do you think Dylan took a sudden turn?
