Don't you think Palestinians would like to enjoy their culture, too? You might want to try seeing things from their point of view. Look to Dylan's songs for wisdom . . . don't ask him to solve your problems.

We call Bob Dylan respect to the right every person to enjoy the culture and stop the spread of terrorism around the world. there is no connection between culture and the murder of babies as the Palestinians killed this week in the Jewish settlement of Itamar. Israel wants to enjoy culture and invites singers to show in Israel but it seems that the Palestinians Trying to disturb it..

Slow Train is one the top best of Dylan albums in my opinion!

[rockingbullshit]

pretty cool

Look at the enormous size of his ears, and how they fly out of his head like Dumbo the elephant or the Buddha: that says it all. In Wexler's case, "monster ears" was more than just musician's slang.

Slow Train...great insight into Christian lyrics. Sad it wasn't permanent, but a good genre for Dylan to explore. Not so sure about his apparent electronica phase!
