Great vid, Spade! Loved the great "reach" of imagery (wasn't there even a Hopper fragment in there, near the beginning?)
But don't get me started on Mr. Dylan, to me (but not to many others, I realize) a serious poseur. I think you punctured his pretentiousness nicely.
Again, great (and obviously hard) work!

Yup... I saw that after the fact. At least I didn't capitalize the "E". LOL!

I think Dylans' message was probably you 'Need to serve yourself'... in other words...Be true to yourself.
Thanks SC. Your videos are always thought provoking and insightful.

Thanks Spadecaller!!! I thought I was 20 years old again when I was listening your video. An other success...Unbelievable how young I am feeling now! Without joking: I loved your choice with Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Bod Dylan....in advance you made my Sunday! Thanks!Great work...
I hope you and Adam are doing well!

Great take on an interesting Dylan song. Again, loved how the art worked with the song to underline the nature of the message being presented.
I believe this song was done during Dylan's religious period which really sorta shocked some of my friends but to me he was ahead of the curve on exploiting a growing grass roots Christian movement amongst the young hippies of the day. Yet Dylan was and still is good at profiting off of the socially and politically obvious.
The message is simple and to the point; no matter how great or insignificant you are in the eye's of society everyone will have to spiritually serve somebody. In this case either the Devil or the Lord. Yet through an extended metaphor, good or evil. (...'precious my precious.' Sweet!)
To me the point of the song is in 'you will do one 'or' the other not one 'and' the other'.
You can't have it both ways; you can only have it one way; 'It could be the Devil or it could be the Lord; but you Gotta Serve Somebody.'
True.

SC! I love the interesting collages between Toulouse Latrec, Van Gogh,Monet and Norman Rockwell et al. Great pics' of muscial artist's of our time period too! Blended nicely like butter on toast with Bob Dylan's tune. With that titles song I can't help but think of that old biblical expression: "Give Caeser's things to Caesar, and to God's. God." Thanks!

It's sort of gotten late in the day but I finaly managed to get some time to watch the video. While listening to the video and watching the pictures it made me just stop and wonder who I do serve. I chose to raise cattle for the simple reason that great things would not be expected of me, even though there is not much money in what I do for a living I do get the satisfaction of serving mankind by producing something that most can use. I know at times the food I produce will feed armies that kill but also it will feed the needy and the people who make the world a better place, after the really long tough day that I had today this was welcome, brought things back into perspective.
Spadecaller as most have said before me here this was excellent, I enjoyed it all especially the message.

I loved the song, and the images you put to it "serve" perfectly to illustrate it.
