Bob Dylan Recites "The Night Before Christmas"

It's bizarre enough that Bob Dylan has his own XM satellite radio show, but this clip of the singer reciting "The Night Before Christmas" is almost too much to handle. I, for one, love Bob, so listening to this recording provides a welcome, if strange, serving of holiday cheer. His colorful interpretation really speaks to his flair for folk poetry and talking blues.

But even if you're one of those people totally puzzled by Dylan, this clip is highly entertaining. Merry Christmas to Bob and to all a good night.
