This is certainly something you wouldn't have seen thirty years ago, but I guess the only constant in this world is change. Anti-establishment icon, Bob Dylan, is doing a very establishment kind of thing -- he's releasing a christmas album.
Columbia Records has confirmed that Dylan has made a christmas album called Christmas in the Heart. The album will be released on October 13th, and all the proceeds from the album will go to charity. Some of the songs on the album are "Winter Wonderland", "Little Drummer Boy", "Here Comes Santa Claus" and "Must Be Santa".
The money that album sales generates will be donated to the charity Feeding America. They hope to raise enough money to feed 1.4 million people. Money raised by international sales of the album, will be donated to organizations in those countries that provide meals for the poor.
Dylan said, "It's a tragedy that more than 35 million people in this country alone -- 12 million of those, children -- often go to bed hungry and wake up each morning unsure of where their next meal is coming from. I join the good people of Feeding America in the hope that our efforts can bring some food security to people in need during this holiday season."
Not being a christian, I usually don't care much about christmas albums. But I am a Dylan fanatic, so I may have to at least give this one a listen.
I guess Ozzy Osborne was not available to mumble these Christmas songs incoherently, so they had to fall back to a default mumbler instead :).

Maybe the fundies will be happy that they're at least being mumbled with an American accent.
