6 Blowin’ in the Wind

Chapter 6 Blowin' in the Wind In 1961 Bob visited Cambridge, Massachusetts. It is a town right next to Boston, and the home of Harvard University. Cambridge's folk music community rivaled New York's. Joan Baez was the queen of the Cambridge folk scene. She had a perfect, pure soprano and sang traditional English and American songs. Her first three albums all went gold, selling more than five hundred thousand copies each.

第六章随风飘荡1961年，鲍勃访问了马萨诸塞州的剑桥。 它紧邻波士顿，是哈佛大学的所在地。 剑桥的民间音乐界堪比纽约。 琼·贝兹是剑桥民谣界的女王。 她有一个完美的，纯粹的女高音，唱传统的英国和美国歌曲。 她的前三张专辑都是黄金唱片，每张都卖出了50多万张。

Bob had first seen Joan on TV back in Minnesota. She had shiny black hair down to her waist. He wrote about his first impression of her in Chronicles: Volume One: "I couldn't stop looking at her, didn't want to blink. The sight of her made me sigh. All that and then there was the voice. She sang in a voice straight to God. Nothing she did didn't work."

鲍勃第一次见到琼是在明尼苏达州的电视上。 她乌黑发亮的头发垂到腰部。 他在《编年史：第一卷》中写下了对她的第一印象：“我情不自禁地看着她，不想眨眼。 看到她使我叹了口气。 所有这些，然后就是那个声音。 她直接对着上帝唱歌。 她所做的一切都成功了。”

Joan Baez was not impressed when she heard Dylan's first album. But her opinion changed two years later when she heard the song "Blowin' in the Wind." It is the first cut on Bob's second album, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. The song asks a series

琼·贝兹（Joan Baez）听到迪伦的第一张专辑时并没有留下深刻的印象。 但两年后，当她听到《在风中飘荡》（Blowin' in the Wind）这首歌时，她改变了看法。 这是鲍勃的第二张专辑《the Freewheelin’Bob Dylan》的第一张剪辑。 这首歌问了一个系列

of questions that touch on war, civil rights, and injustice. Each chorus ends "The answer my friend, is blowin' in the wind / The answer is blowin' in the wind." By that he meant that the answers to our problems were right in front of us, although we often could not see that. Since it first came out, "Blowin' in the Wind" has been recorded by many musicians. Probably the most famous version is by the folksinging trio Peter, Paul and Mary. Their recording shot to number two on the Billboard chart in 1963.

涉及战争、民权和不公正的问题。 每个副歌的结尾都是：“我的朋友，答案在风中飘荡/答案在风中飘荡。” 他的意思是，问题的答案就在我们面前，尽管我们常常看不到这一点。 自从问世以来，《在风中飘荡》已经被许多音乐家录制过。 也许最著名的版本是由民歌三重奏彼得，保罗和玛丽。 1963年，他们的唱片在公告牌排行榜上排名第二。

The cover of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan featured a memorable photograph. Suze and Bob are walking down a wintery Greenwich Village street. They are huddled against the wind and look very young and in love. Freewheelin' was an immediate success and brought Bob to the attention of folkies all across the United States. The release of the album in late May was part of a string of events that made Bob famous. In 1962 he hired a new manager who got Bob a spot on The Ed Sullivan Show in May 1963. This was the big time! Bob was planning to perform "Talkin' John Birch Society Blues." The song made fun of a small, very conservative group called the John Birch Society. He later changed the name of the song to "Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues." During rehearsals a CBS lawyer told Ed Sullivan that Bob couldn't sing the song. CBS was nervous that the John Birch Society might sue the network. When Ed Sullivan gave Bob the news, he blew up. He was being censored! Bob walked out of the television studio and went home.

《自由的鲍勃·迪伦》的封面上有一张令人难忘的照片。 苏茜和鲍勃走在冬天的格林威治村的街道上。 他们迎着风挤在一起，看起来很年轻，很相爱。 《自由驾驶》立刻获得了成功，并引起了全美国人的注意。 这张专辑在5月下旬的发行是鲍勃成名的一系列事件之一。 1962年，他聘请了一位新经纪人，这位经纪人为鲍勃在1963年5月的《埃德·沙利文秀》（The Ed Sullivan Show）上安排了一个位置。 这是一个大时代！鲍勃打算表演“约翰·伯奇社团蓝调”。 这首歌取笑了一个名叫约翰·伯奇协会的小而保守的团体。 后来，他把这首歌的名字改为“Talkin’John Birch Paranoid Blues”。 在排练期间，CBS的一位律师告诉埃德·沙利文，鲍勃不会唱这首歌。 哥伦比亚广播公司担心约翰·伯奇协会可能会起诉该公司。 当艾德·沙利文告诉鲍勃这个消息时，他勃然大怒。 他被审查了！鲍勃走出电视演播室回家了。
