I have no idea what Bob is babbling about here - and I doubt he does, either.

Best I can make out, Sara left him, and he got strung out and found God for awhile (good for him if it helped.) Unclear how much he still believes in all of this, my guess is some of it, not sure about the Armageddon part - maybe, hard to tell. The bit about still justifying his inexcusable rudeness at the ACLU dinner is prime - no one asked him to sign up, his only "duty'' was to be polite. He said he'd refund the money, but almost certainly never did.

None of this is to take away his status as a great songwriter - probably the greatest of all time. But for someone who says he hates to explain himself, he sure runs on (and on, and on...)
