Comments for Dylan, Bob, Infidels

This album could have ranked with his greatest. Unfortunately, Bob tampered with it at the last minute and replaced "Blind Willie McTell" and "Foot Of Pride" with "Union Sundown."

What exactly did he replace Union Sundown with? (Tight Connection To My Heart?)

Jokerman and License to Kill are scathing indictments of humankind's hubris and greed. I and I is one of his best introspective, thoughtful songs since It's alright, Ma (I'm only bleeding).

Bob Dylan is a Jew again, and this is a great album. License to kill is one of my favorite Dylan songs. Even without the the above mentioned songs missing, It is a top-notch record.

It really doesn''t matter whether Blind Willie McTell made it onto the album or not. IT''s still one of Dylan''s best, lyrically and musically.

This was one his best recent (i.e. w/in the last fifteen years) albums. "Jokerman" is a biting commentary on 1980`s greed.

Indeed, had Bob included "Foot Of Pride" & "Blind Willie McTell" on INFIDELS, it could have been his greatest album since BLOOD ON THE TRACKS. But we all know is unpredictable & that album would have to wait until TIME OUT OF MIND. In the meantime, INFIDELS as is was a welcome return to form for Bob after his experiment with Christianity. The experiment was a bit of an ego trip more than anything, but you had to admire his passion towards it. This album showed he hadn't lost touch with us sinners. :) "Jokerman" is one of his best songs ever & who knew he was capable of that 20 years into his career. INFIDELS was just that as an album, not on par with his classic work to be sure. But it still proved Bob could create something good & it stands with EMPIRE BURLESQUE & OH MERCY as Bob's best statement from a rather disappoint decade for him.

Bob Dylan's indictment of the worlds hypocrisy towards Israel and the Jewish people still holds true in 2002 as it did back when "infidels" first came out. I can feel the frustration in the lyrics now more then ever. Dylan rocks.
