11 Fifty Years and Counting

Chapter 11 Fifty Years and Counting So who is Bob Dylan really? In 2007, a movie came out about him called I'm Not There. Six different actors, including a woman and a young African American boy, all played Bob Dylan. That is probably as close to a "real" picture of Bob as anyone can get. What he does give the public is his music. In September 2012, Bob Dylan released Tempest, his thirty-fifth studio album. But unlike many singers, he doesn't wait for a new album to go on tour. He likes to play concerts. In fact, he will play almost anywhere. Once Bob played at the United States Military Academy at West Point. One of his songs that night was the antiwar ballad "Masters of War."

鲍伯·迪伦到底是谁？ 2007年，一部关于他的电影《我不在那里》上映。 六个不同的演员，包括一个女人和一个年轻的非洲裔美国男孩，都扮演鲍勃·迪伦。 这可能是任何人所能得到的最接近鲍勃“真实”的照片了。 他真正带给公众的是他的音乐。 2012年9月，鲍勃·迪伦发行了他的第35张录音室专辑《暴风雨》。 但与许多歌手不同的是，他不会等到出了新专辑才开始巡演。 他喜欢演奏音乐会。 事实上，他几乎可以在任何地方打球。 鲍勃曾经在美国西点军校打过球。 那天晚上他的歌曲之一是反战民谣《战争大师》。

Bob Dylan plays small towns and big cities around the country and all over the world. Fans call it "The Never Ending Tour." Not all of his albums have been as great as Blonde on Blonde. Still, he has won ten Grammy Awards, including two for Album of the Year. In 1988 he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Hall also named five of his songs on a list of songs that helped shape rock and roll. Bob Dylan has kept on trying new things in his music. For a couple years, he belonged to a group called the Traveling Wilburys. He sang under the names Lucky Wilbury and Boo Wilbury.

鲍勃·迪伦在全国和世界各地的小城镇和大城市演出。 粉丝们称之为“永不结束的巡演”。 并不是他所有的专辑都像《金发女郎》那样出色。 尽管如此，他还是获得了10项格莱美奖，其中包括两项年度专辑奖。 1988年，他入选摇滚名人堂。 名人堂还将他的五首歌曲列入了影响摇滚乐的歌曲名单。 鲍勃·迪伦一直在他的音乐中尝试新事物。 几年来，他加入了一个叫“旅行威尔伯里”的组织。 他以Lucky Wilbury和Boo Wilbury的名字演唱。

The other Wilburys were all rock superstars, too —George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, and Jeff Lynne. Dylan has also acted in seven movies and directed two of them—Renaldo and Clara and Eat the Document. Bob Dylan will always be a private person. The writer Robert Shelton once described him as wanting "personal privacy and professional approval." "Professional approval" means Bob Dylan wants people to think his music is great. Maybe that explains why one hundred nights a year, Dylan, now in his seventies, walks onstage with his Fender Stratocaster guitar. Perhaps he remembers the magic a teenage boy in Minnesota felt when he played a Little Richard song on the stage at Hibbing High School. Or maybe he thinks about listening to the radio late at night, searching for the rock music that changed his life.

威尔伯里的其他成员也都是摇滚巨星——乔治·哈里森、罗伊·奥比森、汤姆·佩蒂和杰夫·林恩。 迪伦还出演了七部电影，并执导了其中两部——《雷纳尔多和克拉拉》和《吃文件》。 鲍勃·迪伦永远是一个注重隐私的人。 作家罗伯特·谢尔顿（Robert Shelton）曾形容他想要“个人隐私和专业认可”。 “专业认可”的意思是鲍勃·迪伦想让人们认为他的音乐很棒。 也许这就解释了为什么迪伦，现在已经70多岁了，每年有100个夜晚，会带着他的Fender Stratocaster吉他走上舞台。 也许他还记得明尼苏达州一个十几岁的男孩在希宾高中的舞台上演奏小理查德的歌曲时所感受到的魔力。 或者他会想到深夜听收音机，寻找改变他生活的摇滚乐。
