Exhuming Bob 5: Texas Bob Dylan
This is probably the Bob Bob has always wanted to be. As you can see he has abandoned any Jewish identity if favor of a Western recording star of the forties. Slim Whitman, Elton Britt, Ernest Tubb, Hank Williams or any number of artists before the Nudie Suits of Light came into fashion in the fifties.
Note the extreme face molding, The tight thin lips, the steely eyes. A remarkable and successful effort at becoming what he wanted to be.
