@bongolongo Then you've ruled out 99.9% of all literary interpretation! Last time I checked, we can't discuss the meaning of Moby Dick with Herman Melville or the themes of Oliver Twist with Charles Dickens. That doesn't stop the informed critic from analyzing as far as he can, the forms on display in the work.

@Bulloxe4 Maybe Dr. William Lane Craig would help you with you path in life....he starts at the root of questions and does a great job presenting evidence with concepts rooted in science. He is a philosopher with a Christian background and a brilliant one....It sounds like your searching...

Bob wrote three definitively Christian albums in the 80's. That said, Bob leaves the themes of his songs completely open to the listener. He may laugh, but it would probably be in astonishment of such a vast interpretation rather than derision. Something like "You got all that??? Man, I AM good!"
Blessings onya!

ironically it is not possible to sell your soul to the devil.Jesus christ has redeemed his elect and our destiny is not negotiable with anyone I f this priest would use drugs he would realise that profundity is proportional to joint size

Fr. Barron, what do you think of all the nonsense here on youtube about Dylan selling his soul to the devil?

That's what makes him a Joker!
Cross reference the lyrics to Jokerman and you will see.
If Bob watched this interpretation of song I think he would have a good laugh. But then again he must get sick of people trying to use his music to push their own agenda.

@alias41100 Friend, listen to the song and then take a good look at the book of the prophet Isaiah and then tell me that I'm "pushing an agenda" alien to Bob Dylan's intention.

What about the possibility that the Joker is God?
That would explain the song Jokerman.

@dogma2100 "There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief. There's too much confusion; I can't get no relief." I don't know: that just doesn't sound like God to me!
