#FollowYourPassion - Bob Dylan

An actor came on late-night television this week and said that he didn't think actors should get involved in politics. (I guess no one told THAT to Ronald Reagan.) Maybe that actor would've made a more accurate statement if he had just said that he HIMSELF did not want to get involved in politics.

So many entertainers have made a difference in the world by following their passions and speaking their minds. Most notably this week - is Bob Dylan.

The Nobel Prize in Literature 2016 has been awarded to Bob Dylan "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition."

#AWESOME!

After the announcement by Sara Danius, Permanent Secretary of the Swedish Academy, she was interviewed...

"Mr. Dylan, 75, is the first musician to win the award, and his selection on Thursday is perhaps the most radical choice in a history stretching back to 1901."

The Times They Are A-Changin

Come gather 'round people

Wherever you roam

And admit that the waters

Around you have grown

And accept it that soon

You'll be drenched to the bone

If your time to you is worth savin'

Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone

For the times they are a-changin'

Come writers and critics

Who prophesize with your pen

And keep your eyes wide

The chance won't come again

And don't speak too soon

For the wheel's still in spin

And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'

For the loser now will be later to win

For the times they are a-changin'

Come senators congressman

Please heed the call

Don't stand in the doorway

Don't block up the hall

For he that gets hurt

Will be he who has stalled

There's a battle outside and it's raging'

It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls

For times they are a-changin'

Come mothers and fathers

Throughout the land

And don't criticize

What you can't understand

Your sons and your daughters

Are beyond your command

Your old road is rapidly agin'

Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand

For times they are a-changin'

The line it is drawn

The curse it is cast

The slow one now

Will later be fast

As the present now

Will later be past

The order is rapidly fadin'

And the first one now will later be last

For the times they are a-changin'

- Bob Dylan
