Thought for the day

I prefer blogs when bloggers don't write about their personal feelings and actions too much. ("No milk in the fridge, sigh").

Bodil Malmsten often includes among the Swedish - which I don't understand - quotes in English and links to English websites.

She recently posted this, by Bob Dylan:

You gotta serve somebody

You may be an ambassador to England or France
You may like to gamble, you might like to dance
You may be the heavyweight champion of the world
You may be a socialite with a long string of pearls.

But you´re gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You´re gonna have to serve somebody.
It may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you´re gonna have to serve somebody.
......

You may be a state trooper, you might be a young turk
You may be the head of some big TV network
You may be rich or poor, you may be blind or lame
You may be living in another country under another name.

But you´re gonna have to serve somebody, yes
..........

You may be a construction worker working on a home
You may be living in a mansion or you might live in a dome
You might own guns and you might even own tanks
You might be somebody´s landlord you might even own banks.

But you´re gonna have to serve somebody, yes
.......

I found a fuzzy video of him performing it in 1984 on Youtube. And an interview with him, which reveals mainly that he does not like being interviewed very much.
