Subject: RE: BS: Bob Dylan theologian?
If you believe in God, everybody's connected to God...whether they know it or not. That doesn't necessarily mean they're going to deliver any great revelations, though. I like Bob's religious songs. They're intense, he obviously means what he's saying, and they usually make a pretty strong point.

His comments to the interviewer in your clip are a bit mysterious, GFS. Some think he's referring to God. Some think he's referring to the Devil. Whichever it was, it more likely seems like it was God to me, cos he's always written from a godly point of view, so to speak.

The words in songs like "Gotta Serve Somebody", "Every Grain of Sand", "In the Garden", and "With God on our Side" are all very good....the last song referring to the unholy and very common practice of governments and leaders pretending God is on their side when they take a country to war.
