8. Bob "Xmas" Dylan
Morris ,   USA   (01.25.10)
Didn't Dylan once convert to Christianity and make some religious albums? Then back to Judaism so his boy could be Bar Mitzvah-ed at the Wall. Then he released an Xmas album late last year. What religion is this guy? He certainly is no Jew. I loved him in the 60's -- but NO MORE!
9. Go Dylan & Rashid for PM!

10. If they give a concert in Tel Aviv,
jason white ,   afula,israel   (01.25.10)
there should be another one in the north or the south. Better yet, just have all concerts outside of the center of the country and Jerusalem.

Dylan is Jewish. He did once convert but them came back to Judaism. That is his right and thank goodness he ultimately found his way back. Many people feel a need for spiritual change and sometimes it is misguided. As for the Christmas album, this was done as a charitable project for hunger relief and Dylan did not receive one dime of financial benefit. Obviously, a Christmas album would produce the biggest charitable bang rather than a Hannukah album. Lighten up, the guy is still a genius and embraces Judaism and that is that.

So the man converts to Christianity and you dont like him anymore? What kind of bigot are you? Do you have something against Christianity?

Genuine Tosefta ,   Tehran-Iran   (01.25.10)
due to drugs you were never that good by any means, only weird and this was fashionable in the 60's but not today

Dylan seems to have a history becoming a group's "poster boy" and then ditching them. Folk music, rock, Christian music (and Christianity for a while)... I prefer my "thinking" musical heroes to be as consistent as Leonard Cohen. As for my "bigotry," some of my best friends are Christians :-)!

The holy seforim state that before every Jew dies he does teshuvah. So perhaps this is this Jews effort to come closer to the Creator.

Barney ,   USA   (01.25.10)
i also like leonard cohen but then he also had his own spiritual journey and lived as a buddhist monk.
17. To Barney - RE: Leonard Cohen
Morris ,   USA   (01.25.10)
Glad you like LC. Leonard Cohen was interviewed about his monastic life (posted somewhere on the Web). He said and I paraphrase when asked if was a Buddist, "I already have a perfectly good religion," referring of course to Judaism. Saw him at Radio City Music Hall in NYC last May. Amazing energy and talent.
18. "Robert ZimmermanGoes 2 Israel{sounds like a CaryGrantComedy
ED ,   Bethlehem, USA   (01.26.10)
"Robert Zimmerman Goes To Israel" That sounds like an old, lighthearted Cary Grant comedy film. Congrats Bob, you are worthy.
19. Neighborhood Bully
Jason ,   Atlanta, GA   (01.26.10)
Bob Dylan's song Neighborhood Bully is one of the best songs ever written.
20. to #17 morris Budahism is also monotehistic
ghostq   (01.26.10)
religion, but you got Elizia the prophet, they got the price Budha, who got devine enlightment from God, and Budaism is the most peacful religion in the whole world, so befor you over judge Musician by his religion better check, there is a famos amerikan singer who happened to covert to Budahism and she is one of the few who really really worth listen to. she also got nice rake :)
21. Bob Dylan
Gershon C. ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (01.26.10)
Hopefully he is back to being a Jew for good.
22. #19, Neighborhood Bully
Steve ,   Palm Beach, USA   (01.26.10)
I agree, one of Dylan's best. As relevant today (or even more so) as it was when originally recorded i the early 80's.
23. Who is a JEW and who is not?
Leif Erik H.Niclasen ,   Argir Faroe Island   (01.26.10)
Your GOD made himself a special people in the dessert walking around in 40 years, he gave you tree ( 3 ) marks or sign on your body so he would find you again if you were trying to hide yourself some whwre on this planet, you can convert to what ever religion you will, but you will still be a JEW. No other people on this planet are like you, so be proud of that too, when we to morrow remembering the Holocoust Day where all the beutiful people that have to die because of this sign or mark`s they got from GOD

debbie ,   israel   (01.27.10)
TO RASHID Why should you have any problem finding a tunnel out of Gaza? I'm sure you will have no problem. Your Hamas leaders are earning hundreds of thousands of dollars every day smuggling arms, weapons, etc. to use against Israel. They are also getting rich smuggling goods and selling them on the black market. Don't you know all this? You must start to read the Hebrew newspapers for the truth.
25. I'd go and see Bob!! - come on over man!
