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

The 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.
