"You can be in my dream if I can be in yours"
"You can be in my dream if I can be in yours"
My mom reminded me of this line...it doesn't have a lot to do with Kosovo, but it's another great Dylan quote, which with the bi-monthly dreams I have of meeting Bob, I thought I should post it. (If you're personal friends with Bob, would you mind asking him if I can use "Ring Them Bells" in the documentary?)
"You're gonna have to serve somebody.
Well it may be the Devil or it may be the Lord,
But you're gonna have serve somebody"
These simple words from Dylan's song "Gotta Serve Somebody" transformed the life of a woman I went to school with in Chicago. It's amazing how powerful a few simple words can be!
My buddy Rob has added a few more noteworthy Dylan quotes…
"In the time of my confession,
in the hour of my deepest need
When the pool of tears beneath my feet
flood every newborn seed
There's a dyin' voice within me
reaching out somewhere,
Toiling in the danger
and in the morals of despair.
Don't have the inclination
to look back on any mistake,
Like Cain, I now behold this chain
of events that I must break.
In the fury of the moment
I can see the Master's hand
In every leaf that trembles,
in every grain of sand."
"Now you stand here expecting me to remember something you forgot to say?"

There is sooooooooo much in Bob's lyrics, it's kind of like digging for burried treasure when you sit and listen because you often disover a new nugget of gold.
6 days till I meet Bono...I can barely stand it. Wish you were going with T and me!
Thanks for making my acqaintance with Dylan. Don't truly know much about him or his philosphy, but I am discovering a voice I want to listen to. The lyric, "There's a dyin' voice within me
reaching out somewhere,..." shouts to me. You are a voice. What is your message Isaac?
Who is well woman? I want to go with her to meet Bono.
