About the author
Bob Dylan
504 books1,393 followersBob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman) is an American singer-songwriter, author, musician, poet, and, of late, disc jockey who has been a major figure in popular music for five decades. Much of Dylan's most celebrated work dates from the 1960s, when he became an informal chronicler and a reluctant figurehead of American unrest. A number of his songs, such as "Blowin' in the Wind" and "The Times They Are a-Changin'", became anthems of the anti-war and civil rights movements. His most recent studio album, Modern Times, released on August 29, 2006, entered the U.S. album charts at #1, making him, at age sixty five, the oldest living person to top those charts.
Bob Dylan won the Nobel Prize in Literature (2016).

A pocket-sized book containing transcriptions of some (all?) the sermon-like stage raps Dylan delivered during his gospel period between 1979 and 1981. A solid resource for people interested in such things, though the transcription of the one show from this period I have on disc omits at least some text that I would have found interesting (a reference to Jimmy Reed).

Conversational, then I realized it was all the things Bob Dylan said before playing songs related to God, Christ, stuff. How does one get to this point of belief/faith where you can talk like this?
