I thought you'd like the following, from a midnight interview of Dylan, at a Fort Lauderdale hotel a few years ago:

Question: When you look ahead now, do you still see a Slow Train Coming?

Dylan: When I look ahead now, it's picked up quite a bit of speed. In fact, it's going like a freight train now.

For music, I would say that Bob Dylan's "Slow Train Coming" is the best Christian album ever recorded. I've certainly never written anything that says as much and I'd be most impressed if he ever surpasses it himself. I wish every Christian who likes modern Gospel music would buy a copy of "Slow Train". Then they'd have an idea of what Christian music is capable to communicating.

John Cohen interview of Bob Dylan:

Cohen: "I don't think you're the kind of person who goes to the hotel, where the Gideons leave a Bible, and you pick it up."

Bob Dylan: "Well, you never know."
