Perhaps more relevant today then ever....certainly a Dylan classic that gets overlooked all too often.

"You cannot serve two masters"
Great song choice for that crowd
Bless Mavis Staples

Dylan was criticised when he wrote Gospel and Soul songs, but they are now standards sung by the best artists and specialists of this kind of music!

Jonny and Mavis, born to serve somebody

They couldn't have chosen a more appropriately stinging song for this crowd. 🥰🙏🕊️🎶🌿

What a duo. 6 truly understand we all have to serve somebody. We have to choose between good and evil everyday we walk on this earth. I choose good. So glad a came upon this video and especially proud to see our former Presidents united. We have gone downhill from there. So sad.

I love it - a good gospel message being preached to the presidents

[Influence]

Really enjoyed this. I'm going to be using it in my next Sermon on Romans 6:15-23. I love the looks on the our former president's faces. Dylan has created a great message here. I consider it one of his best.
