Excellent song, Mickey, excellent!

No Blasphemy here.

I believe that the "Christian" songs that actually personalize the characters have a much stronger impact than most of the traditional Gospel songs.

Consider "He's Alive" or "Too Small a Price" by Don Francisco (and many others that he wrote). These songs capture the sometimes grueling emotions that the characters must have felt, hence, causing the listener to feel them, also.

This song is in that vein.

You beliefs were not posted with this thread. That's fine. Whatever they may be, they are yours. However, I would consider this song a "gospel" song. Why? By showing the perspective of Judas as having been the "good" son and Jesus as having been the erroneous one, the song infers the opposite.

Of course, that is my own biased perspective. But whatdaiknow? I still think Dylan is writing gospel songs!

Great work, Mickey. Best to ya!
