bob-dylan You can read about it here. For those who are interested, in 2006 I published a chapter in the book, Bob Dylan & Philosophy: It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Thinking), “Busy Being Born Again: Bob Dylan’s Christian Philosophy.” You can find that chapter here.

    The best suggested title for the album may be from All Manner of Thing: A Hard Snow’s A-Gonna Fall.

    That’s a good one, Jody. How about this:

    “Tangled Up in Yule.”

    How about, “The chimes, they are a-clangin”?

    It should be entitled “The Times They Ain’t A-Changin’” with the title song goin’ something like this . . . . .
    “Pretend you’re a sweet Christian
    Pretend you’re a hurt Jew/
    Pretend you’re a Buddhist
    or Satanist too/
    At end you ain’t nothin’ but DNA goo/
    Preorder, get Zeromas savin’s/
    The more you sell the more you get, it’s
    jungle or zoo/
    For the times they ain’t a-changin’”
