With God On My Side


In the late 70s Bob Dylan became a born again christian. He released two christian albums Slow Train Coming and and Saved, both caused a variety of emotions and feelings from fans, friends and musicians. His song "Gotta Serve Somebody" inspired Lennon, with his typical douchebaggery to write "Serve Yourself" Ever since then Dylan's religious beliefs have been under a constant state of speculation. "Here's the thing with me and the religious thing. This is the flat-out truth: I find the religiosity and philosophy in the music. I don't find it anywhere else. Songs like "Let Me Rest on a Peaceful Mountain" or "I Saw the Light" – that's my religion. I don't adhere to rabbis, preachers, evangelists, all of that. I've learned more from the songs than I've learned from any of this kind of entity. The songs are my lexicon. I believe the songs." - Bob Dylan.
