Thursday 26th November, 2009
Internationally famous singer Bob Dylan has given a rare interview in a magazine which homeless and unemployed people sell on the streets.
The 68-year-old singer, who recently released a Christmas themed album, delivered in his croaking voice, reminisced with an interviewer about his own previous Christmases and his favorite carols and holiday songs.
The exclusive interview in The Big Issue magazine was chosen by Dylan so the proceeds could go straight to the homeless and hungry in the United States and over 80 poor countries.
Dylan, who is Jewish, said he had always celebrated Christmas in his home town of Hibbing, Minnesota as a boy.
His Christmas album has renewed speculation about whether he is a born again Christian.  Email this story to a friend

Bob Dylan does his bit for Christmas homeless
come gather round people wherever you roam, and admit that the homeless do still need a home and admit it that soon you’ll be out in the snow, with the lunatic battles a-ragin' let the Dylans sing carols and the Madoffs go home, for the times, they need a-changin'

What Christmas Spirit
I grew up in the Willamette Valley where Logging was King and every year those that controlled that Industry decided whether the poor would celebrate Christmas. They would on a regular basis, lay-off the most unskilled workers creating a economic disaster each Christmas, like clockwork.
In Sixty-two years i have celebrated Christmas...this year i cannot because the Veterans Administration has screwed me out of my pension -knowing they were in the wrong.
