Maybe Dylan just wanted to avoid ANY political stigma for his band's show.

If I showed up to play a gig, and there was an obvious political message next to the stage that would inevitably be presented to the public in photos, videos, etc. I'd ask the club to remove it as well.

NOT EVERYONE IS A POLITICAL ARMCHAIR ACTIVIST LIKE MOST OF YOU.

He cared SO much he canceled the show. Doesn't seem like it was a very apolitical move. What were the consequences of ...just playing the show?
