BOB UNLOADS HIS HEAD IN PARIS
Anneke Derksens, a long-time Bob follower, has put these photographs up on Facebook. She reports that they show Dylan with Rabbi David Pinto in Paris in 1994, and were published in the magazine Or Haïm Ve Moche [Hevrat Pinto (Centre Pahad David)] in 1994 and in 1996. She says there's nothing mentioned on either the covers or the contents list. The photographer too appears to be uncredited; but at least we can surmise of the rabbi that his favourite albums include The Band.posted by Michael Gray | 5:39 pm

Reminds me of Dylan in Paris 2000 (and Holland and Germany) singing:
'People on the platforms
Waiting for the trains
I can hear their hearts a-beatin'
Like pendululums swinging on
chains
When you think that you lost
everything
You find out you can always loose
a little more'
and the image of the people arriving at the concentration camps.

Wonder how long it took the good rebbe to figure out that Dylan wasn't really blind? You know how ol' Zimmie tends to come on to people with disinformation . . .
Thank you Michael for sharing these photos and for the credit. Actually I got the magazines from my friend Claude Angele Boni, the artist from southern France, the author of the book Stuck Inside of Mobile (with a rhapsody for Bob Dylan). She generously sent them to me as a gift.
I love your headline. :-)
Best wishes from Antwerp, Belgium.

Rabbi David Pinto's brother married the daughter of macrobiotic pioneer Meir Michel Abehsera in 1986 in Brooklyn. Bob, who was a friend of Meir, showed up for the wedding. I was there. I assume this Pinto kept in contact with Bob ever since.
B.T.
