Don’t believe it and don’t count on it. Custom is just as real as law and can be just as dangerous. Come on, now. I’ll drive you.”

Frank stood at the door, while the Reverend retrieved his coat and car keys. ”Good-bye, Mrs. Locke. 1 do thank you.”

”Stay safe, son,” she answered, patting his shoulder.

At the ticket window, Locke converted the coins into paper money and bought Frank’s ticket. Before joining the line at the Greyhound door, Frank noticed a police car cruising by. He knelt as though buckling his galoshes. When the danger passed he stood, then turned to Reverend Locke and held out his hand. As the men shook hands they held each other’s eyes, saying nothing and everything, as though ”good bye” meant what it once

wherever he is in the USA. He is a victim of other people’s prejudice. In contrast, the persona in the song laments his lack of success in life, but no one else seems to be to blame for his failures. He seems to be his own worse enemy.

1 When he got back home from the Greyhound bus station, Reverend Locke immediately dialled through to his colleague in Portland.

Maynard: Portland 251.

Locke: Jessie, it’s Locke here. I need your help!

Maynard: That’s no surprise to me. You only ever phone when you need something! Locke: Too true, I know. But it works both ways, doesn’t it!

Maynard: Ok, so let’s not waste any more time. What’s up?

Locke: I’ve just put a young colored guy on the Greyhound up to Portland. Maynard: Has he done something wrong?

Locke: No, no, he’s clean. But he’s just out of the desegregated army and doesn’t realise how unsegregated our towns still are! He needs guidance.

Maynard: What exactly do you want me to do?

Locke: Frank –that’s his name– needs to get back home to Georgia as soon as possible to help him recover his mental stability. He needs money and contacts along the way to protect him from racists.

Maynard: So, you want me to pay his ticket for the next part of his journey and give him the name of the pastor at his next destination.

Locke: That’s exactly it, Jessie. I knew you’d be understanding!

Maynard: But knowing you Locke, you didn’t just pay his fare and give him my name, did you?

Locke: No, Jean and I helped him escape from hospital, where he was being mistreated. And you know Jean, well, she just made sure he had plenty to eat as well so that he doesn’t get hungry on the journey.

Maynard: I’ll get the wife to do the same, don’t you worry!

Locke: Thanks Jessie, I’ll repay it as soon as I can. Speak to you soon! Maynard: And you, bye!

2 Big Bill Broonzy’s song about all his dreams that never come true presents a deeply pessimistic vision of dreams. In this essay we will look at how important it is for people to make their dreams come true.

If we take the example of Big Bill Broonzy, we can easily argue that it is essential for dreams to be fulfilled at least to some extent, otherwise people will no longer believe in them, and risk not even wanting to dream in the future. In other words, people need to dream in order to project themselves, to make plans and to aspire to self-fulfilment.

It’s rather like the National Lottery: if no one ever wins, people will eventually give up playing. Where there are dreams, there is hope, and where there is hope, people are willing to devote time and energy so that their dreams come true.

On the other hand, it is quite possible that what matters is not so much the realisation of our dreams but the fact of dreaming. Indeed, it can be frequently noted that when so- meone’s dream is fulfilled, instead of reaching a state of pure contentment, they generally transfer their desire to something else: they are never fully satisfied, as they actually gain pleasure from being in a constant state of waiting for a dream to come true. If this is the case, perhaps it does not really matter if the dream never comes true, although life will inevitably be less monotonous if our dreams are allowed to change and evolve as time goes by.

Personally, I don’t believe that we can really make our dreams come true. I think we can try hard to make them happen, but there are often many external factors that we are unable to control that play an essential role as well as an element of chance. I would say that if we are able to control dreams, they are not really dreams, but simply stages in our lives.
