Dylan's religious conversion

HERE'S a series of articles on the spiritual journey of BD from the 60s through the 90s (you have to type in "Bob Dylan" in the search functiion). It's interesting to look at the Dylan career from a spiritual perspective, since I started this blog by saying that Dylan is in the prophetic tradition. Another point of interest is the role of his publicist. In the "1970s" article, you can see how this person works hard to "craft" the image of Dylan at a time when many people were very critical of him for the religious work he was producing and his refusal to play earlier songs.
