Hva er bedre enn å la Bob selv beskrive livet på sin egen bursdag?
Fra platen “Time Out Of Mind” får vi den fantastiske låten “Not Dark Yet”, som ble skrevet FØR han hadde hjerteproblemer – men som likevel beskriver det som jo gjelder oss alle… bedre enn noen andre.
“Well, my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Behind every beautiful thing there’s been some kind of pain
….I’ve been down on the bottom of the world full of lies
I ain’t lookin’ for nothin’ in anyone’s eyes
Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear
It’s not dark yet but it’s gettin’ there.I was born here and I’ll die here against my will
I know it looks like I’m movin’ but I’m standin’ still
Every nerve in my body is so naked and numb”
