It's been revealed via a new book that the current Pope - Benedict XVI, aka Joseph Ratzinger - was not impressed with the previous incumbent's decision to stage a concert starring Bob Dylan back in 1997 to mark the end of a religious congress in the city of Bologna. Typical.
In the book 'John Paul II, My Beloved Predecessor', Ratzinger writes of the event: "There were reasons for scepticism. I was, and in a certain sense I still am. You could doubt the correctness of having this kind of 'prophet' perform".
Dylan sang five songs at the event, including 'Blowing In The Wind'. Speaking after the gig, John Paul II said of the song: "The answer is blowing in the wind, it's true, but not in the wind which disperses everything into swirls of nothingness, but in the wind that is the breath and voice of the Spirit, a voice that calls and says: 'Come.'"
