BOB DYLAN INN I KULTURDEBATTEN.

Fikk et brev av ei venninne som jeg synes var artig. Bare les:

"Husker du vi prata om Bob Dylan i sommer - Ballad of a Thin Man?
Jeg har aldri riktig skjønt hva den sangen handler om - før nå! Den er
sjølsagt om kulturdebatten i Klassekampen.

"You walk into the room
Whith your pencil in your hand......

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones.

.....

.....

You have many contacts
Among the Lumberjacks
To get you facts
When someone attacks your imagination.
But nobody has any respect
Anyway they already expect you
To all give a check
To tax-deductible charity organizations.

You've been whith the professors and they've all liked your looks
With great lawyers you have
Discussed lepers and crooks
You've been through all of
F.Scott Fitzgerald's books
You're very well read
It's well known.

But you know something is happening here
And you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones.

..........

Og som hun sier: Melodien er på Highway 61.
