West Point ...5:49 pm
Dylan writes in Chronicles of his youthful ambition, at one stage, to go to West Point and make a career in the military. That was most likely sometime during Eisenhower’s presidency. His uncle, among others, disabused him of the notion, saying, “You don’t want to have to work for the government. A soldier is a housewife, a guinea pig. Go to work in the mines.”
On October 13th, 1990, Dylan played the Eisenhower Hall Theater in West Point, New York (and he played there again in October of 1994). The sixth song he played at that gig was Gotta Serve Somebody. Click here for a clip (and dig the ZZ Top opening riff).
