While you're at it, check out his lyrics for the song "Property of Jesus":

Go ahead and talk about him because he makes you doubt,
Because he has denied himself the things that you can't live without.

Laugh at him behind his back just like the others do,
Remind him of what he used to be when he comes walkin' through.

He's the property of Jesus
Resent him to the bone
You got something better
You've got a heart of stone

Stop your conversation when he passes on the street,
Hope he falls upon himself, oh, won't that be sweet
Because he can't be exploited by superstition anymore
Because he can't be bribed or bought by the things that you adore.

He's the property of Jesus
Resent him to the bone
You got something better
You've got a heart of stone

When the whip that's keeping you in line doesn't make him jump,
Say he's hard-of-hearin', say that he's a chump.
Say he's out of step with reality as you try to test his nerve
Because he doesn't pay no tribute to the king that you serve.

He's the property of Jesus
Resent him to the bone
You got something better
You've got a heart of stone

Say that he's a loser 'cause he got no common sense
Because he don't increase his worth at someone else's expense.
Because he's not afraid of trying, 'cause he don't look at you and smile,
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.

He's the property of Jesus
Resent him to the bone
You got something better
You've got a heart of stone

You can laugh at salvation, you can play Olympic games,
You think that when you rest at last you'll go back from where you came.
But you've picked up quite a story and you've changed since the womb.
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?

He's the property of Jesus
Resent him to the bone
You got something better
You've got a heart of stone

All three of his "Born Again" albums are terrific. .....although I didn't start to appreciate them until I got a little older. Saw a show on the Slow Train Coming tour in '79, and I remember being disappointed that he didn't play any of his classic stuff. I wish I could go back in time and see it again.

That's what I want to hear more about. Why did he stop talking about it?

Are you guys SURE this is what he was saying? Back in 1984, when I first started palying guitar, I tried to do a couple Dillan songs. I had to play the album, stop, scribe the words, then play more.

"Rainy Day Women" was the only one I could understand.

I suspect he was taught English at a McDonald's drive-thru speaker, and the the teacher was Charlie Brown's teacher.

"Wa wawa, wa waa wawa."



BTW: Did anyone see Dillan at the 10th Anniversary show of David Letterman on NBC(back in 1991)? He was singing "Like a Rolling Stone" with back up singers. He was bombing so badly because he appeared to be so whacked on coke that he stopped singing and one of the backups took over and sang it like a church choir.

The first I ever heard of Jews for Jesus, some years back, was because of Dylan's involvement with it.
