Internationally famous singer Bob Dylan has given a rare interview in a magazine which homeless and unemployed people sell on the streets.

The 68-year-old singer, who recently released a Christmas themed album, delivered in his croaking voice, reminisced with an interviewer about his own previous Christmases and his favorite carols and holiday songs.

The exclusive interview in The Big Issue magazine was chosen by Dylan so the proceeds could go straight to the homeless and hungry in the United States and over 80 poor countries.

Dylan, who is Jewish, said he had always celebrated Christmas in his home town of Hibbing, Minnesota as a boy.

His Christmas album has renewed speculation about whether he is a born again Christian.
