Here are my six favorite broadly religious songs in the rock/pop genre. Clapton & Winwood, In the Presence of the Lord. And now three by the 'philosophical' Beatle. (If Ringo Starr is the 'regular guy' Beatle, and Paul McCartney the 'romantic' Beatle, and John Lennon the 'radical' Beatle, then George Harrison is the 'philosophical/religious' Beatle. My Sweet Lord. All Things Must Pass. Give Me Love.
And now two by the protean Bob Dylan. Father of Night. Gotta Serve Somebody.
Finally, two powerful anti-drug songs. Hoyt Axton, The Pusher. Steppenwolf version from "Easy Rider." Buffy Sainte- Marie, Codeine.
