Isn't Dylan like a born-again Christian or something? Maybe he isn't (technically), but I seem to recall that he went through some kind of "religious" period not too long ago.

He did write several faith based albums. Like gospel with a Dylan edge.

Dylan was Jewish by birth, but, in the 60s, acted like a typical leftist and tried to hide that fact (although there were often some biblical themes or images in his songs, as in Highway 61 ). Later (late 70s), he went through a "Jewish" period, and was photographed praying at the Western Wall in Jerusalem wearing a skullcap. Still later (early 80s), he became a born-again Christian, and did a few explicitly Christian albums. I don't know if he ever explicitly disavowed Christianity, but he doesn't do those songs anymore and, if he's still a Christian, he doesn't talk about it as far as I've seen.

To quote "The Chanuka Song" by Adam Sandler:

Bob Dylan was born a Jew Then he wasn't but now he's back,

FWIW, a Christian rocker back then named Larry Norman did a great Dylan parody song. I think it was called "I'm Only Visiting This Planet." He sounded almost exactly like Dylan. Some of the lyrics, I never forgot.

"This time, last year, people didn't wanna hear

They looked at Jesus from afar

This year he's a Superstar..."

"The Beatles said all you need is love

And then they broke up..."

Good stuff, i may have to see if that recording is still out there.
