Daily dialogue — January 18, 2009

“I am a man of constant sorrow, I’ve seen trouble all my days. I bid farewell to old Kentucky, the place where I was born and raised. / The place where he was born and raised. /For six long years I’ve been in trouble, no pleasure here on Earth I’ve found. For in this world I’m bound to ramble, I have no friends to help me out. / He has no friends to help him out. / Maybe your friends think I’m just a stranger, my face you never will see no more. But there is one promise that is given, I’ll meet you on God’s golden shore. / He’ll meet you on God’s golden shore.”

 — The Soggy Bottom Boys (George Clooney, John Turturro, and Tim Blake Nelson), O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000), written by Ethan Coen & Joel Coen, based on the epic poem “The Odyssey” by Homer

And a special treat. Here’s a young Bob Dylan singing “Man of Constant Sorrow.”
