7 Changes

Chapter 7 Changes In February 1964, Bob and three friends set out in a Ford station wagon to see America. They planned to follow the same route as the writer Jack Kerouac did when he drove across country in 1948. Kerouac wrote about that trip in a popular novel, On the Road. Bob wrote "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "Chimes of Freedom" while they drove to New Orleans and

1964年2月，鲍勃和三个朋友开着一辆福特旅行车出发去看美国。 他们计划沿着1948年作家杰克·凯鲁亚克（Jack Kerouac）开车穿越全国时走过的路线行驶。 凯鲁亚克在他的畅销小说《在路上》中记述了那次旅行。 鲍勃在开车去新奥尔良的路上写了《手鼓先生》和《自由的钟声》

then on to San Francisco. Both songs were very different from his protest songs. Dylan was writing lyrics that read like poetry: Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip. Bob also started writing a novel called Tarantula. It wasn't like most novels. There was no plot. Tarantula was Dylan's dreamlike diary of his American journey. It was not published until 1971. After he finished Tarantula, Bob wrote one of his greatest songs, "Like a Rolling Stone." It's like a six-minute musical sum-up of his novel. Dylan recorded it as a rock song. Columbia did not know what to make of it. While driving across America, Bob and his friends heard the Beatles for the first time. The song was "I Want to Hold Your Hand." Bob was floored. "I knew they were pointing the direction of where music had to go." It was not the same direction as Bob was heading. But he understood why the

然后去旧金山。这两首歌都与他的抗议歌曲非常不同。 迪伦写的歌词读起来像诗：带我踏上你那神奇的漩涡之船我的感觉被剥夺了，我的手无法抓住。 鲍勃还开始写一本名为《狼蛛》的小说。 它不像大多数小说。 没有情节。《狼蛛》是迪伦关于他的美国之旅的梦幻日记。 直到1971年才出版。 在完成《狼蛛》之后，鲍勃创作了他最伟大的歌曲之一《像一块滚石》。 就像是他小说的六分钟音乐总结。 迪伦把它录成了一首摇滚歌曲。 哥伦比亚不知道该怎么做。 在开车穿越美国的时候，鲍勃和他的朋友们第一次听到了甲壳虫乐队的音乐。 那首歌是《我想握住你的手》。 鲍勃被打倒了。“我知道他们指明了音乐的发展方向。” 这和鲍勃前进的方向不一样。 但他明白为什么

Beatles were going to become such superstars. The 1964 Newport Folk Festival featured a very different Bob Dylan. After just one year of fame, Dylan was sick of being the "voice of his generation." Bob wanted to move on with his songwriting. He was tired of being tied to protest songs. He was tired of the constant criticism from the press, and even his fans. Some of them didn't even like

披头士将会成为超级巨星。 1964年的纽波特民谣音乐节上出现了一个完全不同的鲍勃·迪伦。 仅仅成名一年之后，迪伦就厌倦了成为“他那一代人的代言人”。 鲍勃想继续他的歌曲创作。 他受够了被绑在抗议歌曲上。 他厌倦了媒体，甚至他的粉丝不断的批评。 有些人甚至不喜欢

"Blowin' in the Wind." Others, including Joan Baez, only wanted songs like "Wind." Bob felt that everyone should just be content to listen to his music. Many people considered Dylan's solo concert at Newport in 1964 to be a disaster. He was nervous before the show and worried about how his new songs would go over with the crowd. But onstage he didn't act nervous. He acted mad. He sang "Mr. Tambourine Man" angrily. The song's beautiful melody was choppy and abrupt. Later, while singing another song, he turned his back on the crowd. None of his fans booed him, but they were clearly puzzled.

“在风中飘荡。”包括琼·贝兹（Joan Baez）在内的其他人只想要像《风》这样的歌曲。 鲍勃觉得每个人都应该满足于听他的音乐。 很多人认为迪伦1964年在纽波特的个人演唱会是一场灾难。 演出前他很紧张，担心他的新歌会不会受到观众的欢迎。 但在台上，他并没有表现得紧张。 他发疯了。他唱着“Mr。 手鼓人生气地说。这首歌优美的旋律断断续续而突兀。 后来，在唱另一首歌时，他转身背对着人群。 他的球迷没有嘘声，但他们显然感到困惑。

John Hammond watched from backstage. He couldn't believe it! Dylan owed his fans respect, and he wasn't showing it to them. But that night Bob Dylan simply didn't seem to care.

约翰·哈蒙德在后台观看。 他简直不敢相信！迪伦欠他的粉丝尊重，但他没有表现出来。 但那天晚上鲍勃·迪伦似乎根本不在乎。
