More to the point, I found the weirdest Bob Dylan clip on YouTube. It's from September 24, 1989, a Chabad Telethon in Los Angeles. I guess he's been doing this since the late 80s after his born-again phase or whatever and into the early 90s. There's a bunch of Dylan Chabad footage but what makes this one a standout is that there is Repo Man a.k.a. Daddy Big Love Harry Dean Stanton playing the harmonica along side Dylan who is playing a flute and recorder next to his son-in-law Peter Himmelman singing an old Yiddish song called "Einsleipt Mein Kind Dein Eigalach." The trio called themselves Chopped Liver. Hallelujah for YouTube!
p.s. My Jewish friend Jon Durbin told me that Chabad (short for Chabad Lubavitch) is a study group of Hasidism.
