Music: Bob Dylan thankful that his weird Christmas album helps the homeless

  • They get food straight to the people. No military organization, no bureaucracy, no governments to deal with.
  • Bob Dylan • Regarding his choice to offer proceeds of his bizarre “Christmas in the Heart” to hungry and homeless charities. He mentioned this in an interview that ran in London’s “The Big Issue” and other similar sold-by-homeless newspapers in the U.S. That’s right, a guy who never does interviews with anyone gave one to a homeless newspaper. Random. But awesome. source

Music: Bob Dylan’s “Christmas in the Heart”: Everything we imagined

  • Hearing Dylan tackle “Here Comes Santa Claus” with that voice of his is just unbelievable. You think he’s doing it ironically, but no, he’s doing it with the passion of a guy who can pull off that bizarre mustache he’s been rocking the last few years. Jim DeRogatis of the Chicago Sun-Times gave this album no stars. That’s how bad it is. source

Music: That Bob Dylan Christmas album now has a cover

Bacon in a can

This cover looks like the kind of cover Bob Dylan would use for a Christmas album – traditional, with the air of a tongue implanted firmly in cheek. May we just say that we're actually excited about the prospect of "Christmas of the Heart" (which hits in October)? It has that appeal that the Scarlett Johansson album of Tom Waits covers did for us. source
