I have a friend who is an Iraqi woman, a 49 year old secular Chaldean Christian, who now lives in Toronto. She left Baghdad before the war, but even back then she says that Bob Dylan was very popular among some young people, much as he was with American and European youth in the 1960s. They passed around his CDs and tapes, particularly of his early recordings, in a somewhat open underground. (Is that an oxymoron?) There was something rebellious, she thought, in that action, acting all hush-hush like secret agents and listening to the music of an American Jew. It wasn't anywhere as dangerous as openly criticizing Saddam Hussein's regime, but it got their juices flowing. Their favorite songs, according to her, were Blowing in the Wind, A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall, and, of course, The Times They Are a-Changin'. Maybe disciples is the right word?
