Is That Bing Crosby? Nope. It's Dylan.

Wrap your brains around this, kiddies: Bob Dylan is going release his first ever Christmas album. What?!? Yes!! It's true.

Now, before you go making snide little comments, like "Hey, that doesn't sound like Bing Crosby" or "Please, God, don't let him ruin 'Silent Night' for me" or "Is that a weasel being strangled...oh, it's just Dylan singing 'Winter Wonderland'," bear something in mind. The CD, "Christmas in the Heart," to be released October 13, will have all it's artist's royalties going to benefit the charity Feeding America and international charities that provide meals for those in need, and the royalties will be donated to those charities not just at the holidays, but forever. In perpetuity, as they say. (I've looked, but I can't find Perpetuity on a map anywhere.)

I really can't imagine what a Dylan Christmas album is going to sound like, but what he's doing with his earnings is truly special.
