If you seek the truth about life it is available if you web search: *truthcontest The Present*. The first result should be it. The section on The Beatles(pages58-69) is quite interesting too.

He's right, you know. It doesn't matter who or what you worship, you have to take care of yourself in this life. You have to own up to your own responsibility. You can't BS the world and everyone and claim anarchy and expect not to pay for it in the long run. "it's your mother" means taking care of yourself. Your concience.

There's something missing in this gods almighty stew and it's your mother. Happy mother's day.

HAHA... oh wow... First off, I didn't know that Bob Dylan song existed back then. Secondly, knowing that John called Yoko "mother" puts this song into context. And thirdly, it's no fun being an atheist. Like John, I can't bring myself to believe ridiculous things. But there is wisdom in religion, as in Dylan's song. Sometimes, serving others is serving yourself.

@ nudnek - that's exactly the point of the Dylan song - "it may be the devil, it may be the lord but you're gonna serve somebody" i.e. ALL of your actions are either for good or bad, there is no middle ground. John was fresh out of material so he did what he did best since the end of the Beatles, mock somebody who wasn't lol

Fantastic version, great quality! He's obviously finally settled on a melody on this version. I love the way he stick's it to The (religulous) Man (christened Dylan): Believe whatever you want, but don't use it to justify any of your actions.. The Responsibility is Entirely Your Own. I dig Dylan's interest for gospel as a genre though, 'cause it can be secular as well: just check out Tender by Blur. Pax.
