Gotta Serve Somebody

On my drive to Kingston on Sunday I put a little Dylan on the CD Player. I’ve heard that Dylan has the ability to write songs in hours and days whereas Cohen agonizes over songs for years. There are a few songs on this best of CD that I don’t ever remember hearing and this gospel song is one. Are you a giver or a taker and do you serve the devil or the Lord. I love the dichotomy in these lyrics and I can’t help but think of some of our local councillors. There are those that serve the public everyday and those that stand around to be served. Dylan’s point is that someday you are going to have to serve somebody “It may be the devil or it may be the Lord But you're gonna have to serve somebody.” What do you think?
