Bob Dylan 1979 "Gotta Serve Somebody", "I Believe in You" and "When You Gonna Wake Up”.SNL NBC Studios, New York City, 1979.

 some Jesus freaks posted this over (under the tag 'burning for Jesus'!!? ) on Flickenabok and I thought it fun to post again here . . . . . folks knowing me well know I am an atheist and at a push an agnostic atheist but like the Borrowers and Unicorns and Faeryfolk I care not that they don’t exist and of course I maintain I am just as much an atheist as you and whatever belief system you subscribe to of the many thousand of deities you DON’T believe in I merely don’t believe in one more than you . . . I have posted the Lennon riposte “Serve Yourself" that Bob’s ‘born again’ evangelising period of his life so inspired his ire . 

1979    "Gotta Serve Somebody", "I Believe in You" and "When You Gonna Wake Up”.
From NBC Studios, New York City, NY, 10/20/1979. This was Dylan's first and only performance on Saturday Night Live. 

so we will play Devil’s advocate (ahem  ha ha ha ha ha - ED) and post this here . . . . . it is actually of course quite fascinating musically which is why I post here . . .the songs? I best leave it! 

Why IS it that evangelicals wear white (white shoes with whites strides?!) with their pressed trousers and powder blue?  or even aquamarine? jacket - juss askin’! within a couple of years after this side tracked issue he was back to his former self and acknowledging his Jewish roots and more mystical bent . . . 🤔


Seemed apposite for a Sunday ya get me?! 😉
