To: Recovering Ex-hippie
Recovered so much you forgot your Dylan?

"Patriotism is the last refuge to which a scoundrel clings."

- Bob Dylan, 'Jokerman'

But the next line is much better:

"Steal a little and they throw you in jail - steal a lot and they make you king."

Jokerman is a great Dylan track, and "Patriotism is the last refuge to which a scoundrel clings." is a great Dylan line, but it's actually from another song on the album "Sweetheart Like You"

Cheers

Dylan was and is a genius.
