Dylan

Fellow Americans must think I am a freak, someone out of tune, trying to be someone I am not, mistaken, confused, not to mention completely insane. What the hell is this Brazilian doing singing along with Bob Dylan? Going to all his shows? And talking non stop about seeing him, and how cool he is?

I've heard people saying 'how weird....'

Aren't them groovy Americans hooked on Latin American music? Bossa Nova [Brazilian Jazz], Samba, Capoeira? For I like Bob Dylan! And It has been a fan career that began when I was about sixteen. He was part of every important moment of my life and I'm not ashamed to declare openly that one of the [few] motivations I had to learn English was to understand his poetry.

Today I'm going to see him in person for the fourth time. Me and my body guard, who knows very well how important these events are for me and will not take a risk leaving me there alone ... [wink!]

....the answer my friend is blowin' in the wind, the answer is blowin' in the wind......
