Bob Dylan played 1988's 'Silvio' for the first time in 20 years on Friday, possibly because Barack Obama just named it one of his songs of the summer.

which mixed fresh hits like Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song ,” Beyonce’s “Texas Hold ‘Em,” and Charli XCX’s “365” with old favorites like the Miracles’ “You’ve Really Got a Hold On Me,” the Supremes’ “Where Did Our Love Go,” and the Rolling Stones’ “ Satisfaction.”, a strong candidate for the single worst album of Dylan’s 62-year recording career. To be fair, “Silvio” has the dubious distinction of being the best song on the terrible album, and it was a regular part of his live show from 1988 to 2004.

Dylan rarely praises politicians of any party, but he made a rare exception November 4, 2008, minutes after Obama was declared the 44th President of the United States. “Me, I was born in 1941,”. “That’s the year they bombed Pearl Harbor. I’ve been living in a world of darkness ever since. But it looks like things are going to change now.”
