Like disciples to the master...

In "No Direction Home" (the Bob Dylan documentary by Martin Scorcese), Bobby Neuworth says:

"'Like a Rolling Stone' originally had about fifty something verses as I recall... People who think it's long now should have had a look at it when it was raw. I think he always made exactly the work he wanted to make at exactly the time he wanted to make it. The audience came to Bob. And that's one of the things that makes him so unique in the history of American music. The audience came to Bob Dylan."

Like disciples to the master. Something REAL in him... in his work. And so they came... drawn to something real.

Can the Church be that real? That honest?
