'In August 2016 I received an email from Jeff Rosen, Bob Dylan's majordomo. I had been getting occasional writing assignments from Bob through Jeff for years, and they were extremely various: speeches, press kits, prefaces, a Buick commercial. Now he explained that he and Bob had been discussing a film project, to focus on his "Gospel Years," 1979-1980. They had some great footage-not the rather stiff performances intended for an unmade TV special, but the rougher takes made for pick-ups. Bob had the thought that he'd like to interrupt the footage with sermons delivered by an actor. Would I consider writing the sermons?'
