Starting from his protests and anti-militaristic songs (especially his criticism of the American national and international policies during the Vietnam war), the author reviews Dylan's personal committment in war of Jews and Arabs, his family idyll and tragedy, up to his remarkable conversion to Christianity. B. Dylan has brought significance into rock-music lyrics, he expresses deep thoughts, his questions are to be seriously considered.
