「For having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition - 在美式歌谣的传统下，创造了全新的诗意的表达」 ——诺贝尔文学奖评委会 2016年诺贝尔奖一纸证书，Bob Dylan一夜之间从小众的「亚文化圣人」变成大众的「音乐教父」，各种赞誉堆砌在身。 今天我们不谈诺贝尔奖，换一个吹Bob Dylan的方式：过去50年里，他如何影响了全世界的艺术创作？ 说起来，不管你属于哪个领域的小文青，都会发现自己的爱好绕不开Bob Dylan的名字—— 文学世界里，村上春树「世界尽头与冷酷仙境」中，主角离开世界前听着他的「Blowin' in the Wind」； 诗歌世界里，中国诗人北岛选编「给孩子的诗」时，把他作为美国诗人的代表，选入他的「Blowin' in the Wind」歌词； 电影世界里，拍出整部美国当代史的奥斯卡最佳影片「阿甘正传」，一口气用了两首他的歌「Blowin' in the Wind」和「Rainy Day Women #12 & 35」； 科幻世界里，小说「银河系漫游指南」中，宇宙终极问题是他的一句歌词「How many roads must a man walk down，before you call him a man？」； 漫画世界里，拿到「雨果奖」、被「时代」评为上世纪最佳小说之一的「守望者」，拍成电影后用他的「The Times They Are A-Changin'」开场； 时尚世界里，日本设计大师山本耀司把他称为自己的「神」，说听他的歌感觉让自己回到故乡… 要是一个男孩说他的爱好和Bob Dylan完全无关，那他一定很无趣。 今天推送的「The Times They Are A-Changin'」，Bob Dylan创作于1964年。不如「Blowin' in the Wind」有名，但却是他被贴上「时代代言人」标签的代表作品—— 60年代冷战阴影下的美国，人们视Bob Dylan为年轻人愤怒的代言人。 还有一个小插曲，这首歌发表1年后的1965年，Bob Dylan从民谣转向摇滚乐，使用电吉他。 The Times They Are A-Changin' Come gather 'round people, wherever you roam And admit that the waters around you have grown And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone If your time to you is worth saving Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin' Come writers and critics who prophesise with your pen And keep your eyes wide, the chance won't come again And don't speak too soon, for the wheel's still in spin And there's no tellin' who that it's namin' For the loser now will be later to win For the times they are a-changin' Come senators, congressmen, please heed the call Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled The battle outside ragin' Will soon shake your windows and rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin' Come mothers and fathers throughout the land And don't criticize what you can't understand Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command Your old road is rapidly aging Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand For the times they are a-changin' The line, it is drawn, the curse, it is cast The slow one now will later be fast As the present now will later be past The order is rapidly fadin' And the first one now will later be last For the times they are a-changin'
