That "style" long-preceded Bob Dylan, just ask Woody Guthrie or the countless other balladeers around long before him.

Just because it's Hallowe'en and the song has "Devil" in the title doesn't mean it should be on the playlist.

C'mon Ray, how about a tune!

I dunno, this type of music doesn't have any peaks and valleys to me (and sounds like one of Dylan's 'dreams') and so it doesn't need to be any longer than 2 min to get the point across.

True, it's forced in places, but the message comes through nonetheless. Props for his passion.

Not too bad, but some of the lyrics are a little painful to listen to, as Hubbard tries to fit too much into a verse and yet still make it rhyme overall. (It doesn't always work.) However, as others have mentioned, some of the lines are truly great.

Okay, but not amazing. With a few changes to the lyrics, I think it'd be a more solid song.

Yes. Exactly. It's a little forced in places, what with mention of right wing Christian conservatives and all. But terrific fun, nonetheless.

Ripoff? Call it an homage. I don't think he's trying to fool anyone. Besides, Dylan's style started off as a very close "ripoff" of Woody Guthrie, one that he acknowledged openly. So the cycle goes on. Enjoy.

Saw him do this song at a free show at the Grand Opening of Whole Foods Market here. There were like 20 people paying attention and I sat like 10 feet from him. He didn't seem to give a damn that there were 1,000 shoppers and about 20 listeners. Pretty cool.

Personally I would have gotten my shopping done and gotten out of there.
