Dylan went through his political signwriting phase to impress his then girlfriend. After the relationship was over, he changed direction, went electric and got booed and called a Judas at every concert he played.

Lennon admitted he went through his political phase out of guilt at the wealth he was accumulating after he was attacked by the underground newspaper "Red Mole" for his stance on his song "Revolution," which was basically opposed to the anti-capitalist movement. Just before he died he wrote a song addressed to himself called "I don't wanna face it" which included the line "Say you wanna save humanity but it's people that you just can't stand."
