about Dylan being a 'Godly man':
I did some research this summer on Dylan for a 60's class I took at Duke and came to
find out that while he did consider himself Buddhist during his earlier days, he later
came to a greater understanding with Christianity (1979) and all that it entails.  He
even released a few albums with strong Christian overtones within: _Slow Train
Coming_, _Saved_ (oddly enough his weakest selling album) and _Shot of Love_.
One quite interesting article I read was based entirely on his reaffirmation entitled
"Bob Dylan:  Born-Again Christian or Social Critic?"  It basically compared and
contrasted what they referred to as "The Old Dylan" and "The New Dylan."
I'm not meaning to jump over you or anything about what you said - it's just that many
people don't believe he is a Christian.
