The Gospel according to Bob Dylan: The Old, Old Story for Modern Times by Michael J. Gilmour
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Enjoyed this book that looked more closely than most at Dylan's references to and interactions with the Bible/Gospel and talked more about where he is spiritually. I liked it, though I had hoped for a little more insight than the author gave. Fact is, Dylan is a very private person--though a huge public figure--and he is not one who generally plows out a nice straight linear line in whatever he does. If you want to get a real good feel for how that works out--give Dylan's Chronicles, Vol. 1 a read. It's an amazing book, but it anything but a chronological telling of his life! And where is Vol. 2 of the 3-volume series, Mr. Dylan? We're waiting...anytime now!
