#3 Born Again Crétins
Peut-on se convertir à une nouvelle religion sans aliéner une partie de son public ?
"You know we’re living in the end times ... The scriptures say, ‘In the last days, perilous times shall be at hand. I told you ‘The Times They Are A-Changin’’ and they did. I said the answer was ‘Blowin’ in the Wind’ and it was. I’m telling you now Jesus is coming back, and He is!" [Bob Dylan, 1979]
Le 17 novembre 1978 à San Diego, un fan lance un crucifix à Bob Dylan et le petit juif du Minnesota se convertit au christinanisme. Décriée par le public et la critique, sa "période gospel" est à redécouvrir de toute urgence. Tout comme la discographie d'autres artistes ayant changés de religion en cours de route.
