    ​@arizonarevivalhistory He took piano lessons from Mrs Troxel Hamilton. Played great classical music at every school ensemble. . . Until the 1959 concert when he played like Little Richard and the audience all boooed him and the stupid school principle Mr Peterson pulled the microphone plug off.

    This was wonderful. Thank you. Jesus is my Lord and Savior. There are some interesting Christian themes in Mr Dylan's newest album rough and rowdy ways. Also i saw Mr Dylan perform in oct of 2023. He played a revised version of Gotta Serve Somebody and closed the night with Every Grain of Sand. It was an amazing show. ❤ ✝️ thanks again God bless.

    I am so happy that you did this piece on Dylan and every fan should pray for him because he did an interview with Ed Bradley and he seemed to be saying that he had to hold up his end of a bargain he made with the “Chief Commander of this World and in the Next” and it seemed like he was talking about Satan to me. But, I know he is a Christian and belongs to Jesus Christ and that the Lord will not let go of him-ever! He will never leave you nor forsake you! Deuteronomy 31:6, 1 Chronicles 28:20, Isaiah 41:10-13, Matthew 28:20, Hebrews 13:5-6, and Greater is He that is in thee than he who is in the world, 1 John 4:4. I wrote Dylan a letter awhile back to tell him this but it came back wrong address. My husbands very first gift he ever gave to me when we fell in love was Street Legal and I was hooked. What a lyrical genius-insane amount of talent! My husband was the first Dylanite in our area and he got all the guys in the seminary hooked on Dylan and the priests, too! Lol Anyway, Bob Dylan, if you ever read this, you must understand, you belong to Christ, so come on home, your soul has already been paid for with the precious blood of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Yeshua, the Anointed One and yes, I am sure about that! Grace, Grace, GRACE!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

    @@ArthurRobins I am not a God hater and how you can read my previous post about Dylan asking people to pray for him and stating that God will never let go of him and infer that I hate God is beyond me! He stated in that interview that he, and I quote “It goes back to that destiny thing, and I made a bargain with it, you know, long time ago, and now I’m holding up my end….to get where I am now.” Bob Dylan. When asked with whom he made the bargain, he stated “With the chief commander, in this earth and in the world we can’t see.” When he said this, he didn’t seem like he was talking about God here, and in light of so many in Hollywood and the music industry industry admitting they “sold their souls to Satan” to achieve fame and fortune, one is left wondering who Dylan was referring to and left to their own opinions. Satan is over the earth as clearly stated in Ephesians 2:2., 1 John 5:19, Luke 4:6, Matthew 4:8-9, John 12:31, though God will bring this all to an end and those who accept Christ have the only hope of escaping satan.

    Christians are not the brightest people in the world. They see the world in a simplistic binary fashion of good vs. evil, Jesus vs. Satan. Everyone knows this because they are very loud and aggressive and never shut up. They cannot be talked to or reasoned with. When Dylan went "Christian" most of his fans were very puzzled and disappointed. Dylan to them represented rebellion against the powers that be, religion and the government. Dylan was a great artist and songwriter, but he really never was an intellectual. My theory is that he was burned out, stressed out, and experiencing an identity crisis. It's well known that people in this state are open to brainwashing and programming, and they'll latch on to anything that gives them peace of of mind. That said I'm still a Dylan fan because he has written so many great songs. Christianity is a very old ideology and imbedded in Western Civilization, so it must be reckoned with. There are many types of Christians, some are harmless and do good things like help homeless people, but some are actually proto-fascists who don't believe in separation of church and state, don't believe global warming is real or serious, and are exploited by the extreme libertarian Capitalists whose only agenda is to loot and pillage the Planet until it is completely devastated beyond repair. (I guess this comment turned into a rant, but everything I said is correct).

I'll try and find the album you referred to with the GD. Thanks for watching!

    Bob, signed with Columbia yes ,but the debth in witch everyone can hear, well not everyone. Some are closed off, adrift, lost in their own dillusion,a ship with out a sail. Having grown up in a non Christian household, and later, a devoted Christian household, i can say the latter was and is encouraging and of hope and one of blessings. Bob's interaction, as he speaks of in interviews, specifically ,Ed Bradley's 60 minutes, was one of insight and few words, to the one decision he made with the creator of the heavens and the earth. One must know and read between those lines to truly compare his writings to his life work to the examples he's lead, only to know it was his commitment to God, that he would play these songs and continue these new messages that he was asking for, and that he would not become a silent past matter, he was looking for direction, lost in his feelings of a failed marriage, and sincerely open to the light and direction of lay down your old ways and pick up the cross ,that being a new way of writing with the same destination as previous, but with a promise in hand. Jesus! I met Bob once, on a journey, a series of dates, i thought i had more to say that would reflect something of importance his work meant to me, but i simply asked for "just a hand shake Bob". 7 in 10 days and i truly enjoyed that experience. Now i have choices in this road i travel, when and where,who to align with. But as for the troubadour, i know he's the real deal, and my belief is too. Cheers to all those who keep looking up.

    Many of his songs are biblical, though many may not have caught it. All Along the Watch Tower for one. It's my impression that Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands is another. He seems to have understood Jesus better than most Christian pastors. That's what it means to have a personal relationship with the Lord. After being saved over 30 yrs, I've recently had a profound, supernatural experience with the Lord. I should have kept it to myself because my family thinks the cheese slid off my cracker. I know the truth so that's ok. People that scoff at the idea Jesus might have been in Bob's presence at some point obviously dont know the Lord. It's crazy to believe the God that created everything could do that. I didnt hear you say he saw Him. He said Jesus touched him & he felt it. Anyone that think his talent isnt God given, doesnt know God. If you havent gotten into the Moody Blues, at least the early stuff, you should. Whole albums telling stories of Gods relationship with the human race. Watching & Waiting for example is God speaking to us. Traveling Eternity Road.

    Bob wasn't born to be a church worship leader, but to show the world that Jesus can break through as He likes. Dylan says silly,even contrary things ; but he went to The Cross, accepted salvation and is now free to do as he likes. Wish he'd be more aggressive re the world's need for Jesus, but isn't that between him and God?

    Apparently you never saw the 60 mins interview , where Bob Dylan tells Ed Bradley , that he signed a deal with " the commander of this world ", " the world we cant see " ,........hmmmmm...wonder who that might be....and then tells Bradley , that part of the deal was ,that he keeps playing till he drops. On another note, the reason for his name change has more to do with the fact , that jewish performers co-opt gentile names, so that they can appeal to the huge non- jewish audience in America. Purely a marketing strategy...lets face it , Bob Zimmerman would have limited appeal.
