Dylan, the Reluctant Spokesman: "I'm Not There"
Tuesday November 27, 2007
Categories: Movies
Bob Dylan is, for my money, the poet of our generation, although Allen Ginsberg is a close second. And both figure in the new film “I’m Not There” about his life, his music, and most of all his protean self....

I can't wait to see this movie.
I hope my brother goes to see it with me, as he used to be into Dylan a lot. Has anybody heard anything from the Wallflowers lately, the band that his son Jakob Dylan sings lead in?
I have always liked Dylan. More for his voice and the way he sang than for his lyrics and "protest".
I'm excited to see this movie.
Since it appears you will not take me off of your mailing list I must make a comment. For a moment there you had me almost nervous I thought oh my my mentor can he possibly be supporting some internet based belief. I find it very hard to believe Mr. Dylan would come out in support of any religious belief or religious organization much less one based and founded on the internet. If I am mistaken I apologize and somewhere along the line I must have lost touch with the thinking and the brilliance of this man. I say Peace to all.
Susan...I find it very hard to believe Mr. Dylan would come out in support of any religious belief or religious organization...
didn't dylan come out in support of a religious belief. Ever listen to his saved CD? He also put out a release Gotta Serve Somebody: The Gospel Songs by Bob Dylan. Whether or not he still believes those things may be up in question, but he did without a doubt come out in support of religion.
All genius artists at one time or another indulge in some type of question or art or song or another about God or religion. I consider Bob Dylan genius - have for a long, long time. Another I consider in this mode is Van Morrison - his album Too Long in Exile as well as other songs are very spiritual. I believe all geniuses must at some time or another address the question or concept of the Spirit and of God.
