Bob Dylan Reflects on Calling

The September 2012 issue of Rolling Stone contained a lengthy interview with Bob Dylan. The interviewer noted to Dylan, "You've described what you do not as a career but as a calling." Dylan responded with wisdom and a warning:

Everybody has a calling, don't they? Some have a high calling, some have a low calling. Everybody is called, but few are chosen. There is a lot of distraction for people, so you might not even find the real you. A lot of people don't.
