她的前任名单,熠熠生辉。 全是天王神级的人物。从摇滚教父、科技之神到人权斗士,全都为之倾倒。 她就是琼·贝兹(Joan Baez)。 拉丁血统赋予她深邃的眼神,全身散发艺术的自由气息。 最令人陶醉的,是她那朴实而真挚的歌声。 琼·贝兹生于1941年,20岁时与鲍勃·迪伦相遇。当时鲍勃·迪伦身边有个深爱的女友,因为琼的介入而离开,这时琼才与鲍勃开始正式交往。 那时,鲍勃管我叫我「民谣女王」,我不喜欢,于是他叫我「民谣的第一夫人」。我听了哈哈大笑。___ Joan Baez 然而,不过不久之后,鲍勃名气越来越大,音乐风格也开始转变,加上鲍勃浪子的性格,这段恋情宣告结束。 1980年,40多岁琼认识了不满30岁的乔布斯,谈了一段姐弟恋。据说非常喜欢小孩的乔布斯曾向琼求婚,而琼拒绝了。这段恋情也无疾而终。 在琼离婚的两年后,10年未见的迪伦打来了电话。那夜之后,琼写了她最著名的歌曲《Diamond and Rust钻石和锈》。 琼写完这首歌,答应和迪伦一同巡演,他在后台问她,这首歌是不是为他而写, 她只说了一句:“不然你以为是写给谁?” 究竟甚么是钻石,甚么又是锈? 有人说,钻石是眼泪,泪干后留下来的是绣。 也有人说,钻石是爱情中美好的部份,而绣则是感伤的部份。 又或许,是时间,能把煤矿变成钻石,也能让闪亮的钢铁蒙上一层锈。 Diamond And Rust 钻石与锈
