June 14, 2017: An icon of 1960's with compositions like "The Times They Are a-Changin'" and "Blowin' in the Wind". These were the songs which became a hymn during that time for civil rights and anti-war movements.
Bob Dylan, as known to all, was majorly impacted by Judaism, Christianity and other parts of spirituality. Therefore, it was important to know his frame of reference in contemplation of understanding the influence he was under, perceives Scott Marshall.
A spiritual side of the poet and its effects on the pop culture is explored in Scott Marshall's new book. When Marshall was asked why he chose now to write his new book "Bob Dylan: A Spiritual Life", he explained how strong of an impact Jesus and Jewish's roots had had on Dylan, which are both part of his story.
"Christianity can have different meanings for different people, as for Dylan, it seems more about the figure of Jesus than the following of an organized religion. Dylan appears to be a child of God, not tethered to any religion for religion's sake, but trying to pursue the Truth, clay feet and all." Marshall's words made sure that it hasn't been an easy trip for Dylan.
The book "Bob Dylan: A Spiritual Life" is definitely something to look forward to as it will also be featuring Carolyn Dennis, Dylan's ex wife. For the very first time, she has talked about her life with Bob. The spiritual journey of the great artist will be looked through his four decade's career.
