Possible Bob and John connection

The way I see it,
Bob and John are both part of the opera The Magic Flute, which has come to life.
Bob is the fiend, John, the hero...
So, in a sense, they are, artistically-speaking, part of another 'family'...

Sorry, I'm not following. However, your reference to a "family" reminds me of something James Ellroy once said: "My books are delightful family entertainment -- if your family is the Manson Family."

Did Dylan ever emerge from being purportedly "born again"?
Just curious. I think he was annoyingly preachy. At least it inspired John to spoof him with "Serve Yerself."

Another Question, this one provoked by a remembrance of Dylan's 60
Minutes interview with Ed Bradley in the 2000s: Is Dylan still a
stoner? He really seemed out of it.

Sorry about your stepson. Somebody killed herself in my area by
throwing herself in front of a train not too long ago. Shortly
thereafter, a guy I was casually talking to told me that that was his
sister. He also told me that he had gotten a basketball scholarship to
a CA school. I urged him to go.
I remember reading an interview Dylan did to promote Infidels. It was conducted by Kurt Loder for Rolling Stone, and Loder suggested that a
title like Infidels made Dylan look sort of dour and accusatory. Loder
said, why not give an album a title like "Sweethearts"? Dylan said that
that wasn't a bad idea.

BTW, that 1984 Kurt Loder interview is on the Rolligstone.com site. I
just reread about as much as I could take. Dylan seems vague and
confused.
Lennon's later interviews annoy me in a different way. He's hostile to
his good work with the Beatles and towards his former bandmates -- yet
oozing with delusional praise for Yoko.

Thank you.
I think this is Bob being deceptive. He became involved with the
controversial Chabad movement and the Rebbe, by he time of Infidels, and
still is.

That's the one!
I was reading each issue of RS cover to cover back then.
