To: Dr. Eckleburg

I have NO problem with people not liking his music..or his voice...we have different tastes...Some folks cannot stand to hear him sign (particularly now)...my wife is one of those...in fact, most females don't like to hear his voice these days...

However, he still writes incredible music and great lyrics...such as Moonlight on the Love and Theft album...or, Make You Feel My Love, from the Time Out of Mind album.

I only wanted to set the record straight about the claim that he is a LEFTY through and through, and false claims about his faith...

In fact, he STILL sneaks some lyrics into his songs about his faith...from the Love and Theft album:

Your charms have broken many a heart and mine is surely one
You got a way of tearing the world apart, love, see what you've done
Just as sure as we're living, just as sure as you're born,
Look up, look up, seek your Maker, 'fore Gabriel blows his horn

To: Impeach the Boy

The last line from the lyrics you cited - "Look up, look up, seek your Maker, 'fore Gabriel blows his horn" - was lifted from an old song called "Lonesome Road". Sinatra recorded the definitive version on his 1957 "A Swingin' Affair" album. Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby, Van Morrison & scores of others have also taken a stab at the tune.

Your point that Dylan isn't and never really was a man of the left bears repeating. Liberals so dearly want to claim him as one of their own that they're willing to ignore over forty years of music, lyrics and interviews that suggest otherwise.
