Portugal acorda, inesperadamente, mas em boa hora, para o debate da censura, da liberdade de expressão, da liberdade de imprensa, da liberdade dos homens. Poucos, de facto, são realmente livres, como escreve hoje Sousa Tavares, no Público. A liberdade de dizer NÃO está ao alcance de poucos.
Tudo isto lembra uma canção de Bob Dylan, do álbum Slow Train Coming. Basicamente, em Gotta Serve Somebody, Dylan canta que quase toda a gente (médicos, padres, estrelas de rock ou dirigentes de uma televisão...), têm sempre que servir alguém. Fica aqui um excerto:
Gotta Serve Somebody
Bob Dylan
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,
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody.
You might be a rock 'n' roll addict prancing on the stage,
You might have drugs at your command, women in a cage,
You may be a business man or some high degree thief,
They may call you Doctor or they may call you Chief
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You're gonna have to serve somebody,
Well, 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 indeed
You're gonna have to serve somebody,
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody.
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 indeed
You're gonna have to serve somebody,
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody.
