When Bob Dylan Accepted a Lifetime Grammy Award by Reciting a Jewish Prayer

Bob Dylan book jacket.for twitterThe Bob Dylan Examiner explores a bit of Bob Dylan history, recounting the head-scratching moment when Dylan accepted his Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award in 1991 with an obscure recitation of a commentary on the Hebrew psalm 27. The Examiner kindly reprints my explication of this great moment in rock history from BOB DYLAN: Prophet Mystic Poet, and includes rare video footage of Dylan’s amazing speech, in which he quotes from memory commentary from an Orthodox Jewish prayerbook.

    The correct plural is Baalei Teshuvah, not Teshuvot. Parallel to Attorneys at Law, brothers-in-law.
