Singer-songwriter Bob Dylan released three albums during his born-again era, one of the many periods from his decadeslong career that is explored in a new book, 'Bob Dylan: Mixing Up the Medicine.'
It was 1978 when Bob Dylan, in the middle of a yearlong tour, turned to God. The singer-songwriter was exhausted, physically ill and worn down from his 1977 divorce. Toward the end of a show in San Diego, someone from the crowd tossed a small silver cross onto the stage. Dylan, who normally wasn’t fazed by fans throwing things at his concerts, spotted the religious object and placed it in his pocket. It traveled with him to Arizona for his next performance.
Following the release of the 1983 album 'Infidels,' Dylan told Rolling Stone, 'I’ve never said I’m born again,' noting that the phrase is 'just a media term.' 'I don’t think I’ve ever been an agnostic,' Dylan told the outlet. 'I’ve always thought there’s a superior power, that this is not the real world, and that there’s a world to come. That no soul has died, every soul is alive, either in holiness or in flames. And there’s probably a lot of middle ground.
