Jakob Dylan: Evil Plagiarism is Alive & Well

Did Jakob plagiarize 'Evil is Alive & Well' from:

i) Bob Dylan's 'Man of Peace';

ii) The apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians;
iii) Hal Lindsay's The Late Great Planet Earth, chapter on the 'Future Fuhrer';
iv) Hal Lindsay's Satan is Alive & Well on Planet Earth;
v) Clinton Heylin's Dylan biography, in which he cites iii as a source for 'Man of Peace'?
vi) The Tangled Up in Jews website, which says 'Man of Peace' was a 'strong repudiation of
the missionaries who had tried to save him'?

Answers in the form of a towering yell on the back of a postcard from Desolation Row ...

2 Corinthians 11:13-15 (New International Version)

13For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. 14And no
wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. 15It is not surprising, then, if his servants
masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.

Mick Brown interview with Jakob, published October 2000:

But when the question of religion is raised Jakob politely declines any comment. 'I am Jewish and that's
what's there.'

(But he certainly didn't get that, in the first instance, from Sara 'Zen' Dylan – white gypsy of the
lowlands)

Jakob's concept of Evil is not very Jewish. But it is very Dylan ...

1994 or 1995

It was either 1994 or 1995. I was davening at Chabad of Pacific Palisades, California. I was asked by the
rabbi, a boyhood friend of mine, to help newcomers into shul by giving them a tallis, a machzor. I gave out
honors, asking people to and assisting them with opening the ark. saying the brachos if they got an aliyah.
One of the machers of the shul was a boyhood friend of Bob. Right as we were beginning mincha, in walks in
Bob Dylan along with a younger man. I gave Bob and his "Shamesh" a tallis and a machzor. I showed them
the place. they sat in a corner and bob was reading the English part of the machzor.
As a Lubavitcher myself, I must admit that blue eyed stare that I got from Bob on that day as I showed him
the place and helped him put on his tallis was very similar to the blue eyed stare that the Rebbe used to
give as I passed him for "Dollars" and "Kois Shel Brochah."
They both have/had penetrating stares that made you feel as if they are peering into your soul. Also, both
have a shade of blue eyes that makes/made you feel as if you could look into their soul. As if you are looking
into a clear blue pool. As if you are looking into a pure soul. He specifically conveyed to his boyhood friend
that he did not want an aliyah. Instead the rabbi asked me to honor him with P'sicha for Avinu Malkeinu.

Happy Christmas (all year round).

Somewhere Mama's weeping for her blue-eyed boy,

She's holding them little white shoes and that little broken toy
And he's following a star,
The same one them three men followed from the East.
I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.

Sometimes Jakob comes as a chip off the old block; and it sure ain't Sara. I've looked at Blue from
Both Sides Now; Joni Mitchell, eat your heart out. On March 12, 1978, Craig McGregor
interviewed Dylan in Australia, and the following exchange occurred:

Craig: I've always thought 'Tangled Up in Blue' was a great song. I really like it.
Dylan : Yeah, I like that one too.
Craig : Without knowing anything about it, I half assumed that Blue might be Joan Baez.
Dylan : Joni Mitchell had an album out called Blue. And it affected me, I couldn't get it out of my head. And it
just stayed in my head and when I wrote that song I wondered, what's that mean? And then I figured that it
was just there, and I guess that's what happened, y'know.
