民歌天后 Joan Baez ─ Blowing in the wind - Live Paris,1983

昨天看罷一篇記述七月一日啟德舊機場露天音樂會的網誌，讓我想起了昔日美國民歌天后 Joan Baez 那首著名歌曲 Blowing in the Wind.

少年時代我便到社會工作，當時年少無知，不懂世情艱險。但社會現實很快便讓我感受到旁人白眼、閒言冷語、是是非非，令人氣餒。年紀小小就嘗盡人情冷暖、世態炎涼。當年心中悲苦情緒低落時，Joan Baez 的歌聲給我精神鼓勵，使我堅定信念勉勵自己，相信世間有正氣。縱使當時生活困苦，也要努力進修，邁步向前，相信明天必定會更好。

這首英文歌在歐美地區非常受歡迎，歌迷都給予很高評價，歌詞表達了世人對當權者提出了關於戰爭、和平、人權和自由等問題。直到今天這些問題仍被一些國家當權者忽視！

以下是一些網站對 "Blowing in the Wind" 的評語：

In 1994, the song "Blowing in the Wind" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 2004, it was ranked #14 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".

Blowing in the Wind

Composer : Bob Dylan

Singer : Joan Baez

How many roads must a man walk down

Before you call him a man ?

How many seas must a white dove sail

Before she sleeps in the sand ?

How many times must the cannon balls fly

Before they're forever banned ?

The answer, the answer my friend is blowing in the wind

Oh the answer is blowing in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist

Before it's washed to the sea ?

How many years can some people exist

Before they're allowed to be free ?

How many times can a man turn his head

And pretends that he just doesn't see ?

The answer, the answer my friend is blowing in the wind

Oh the answer is blowing in the wind.

How many times can a man look up

Before he sees the sky ?

How many ears must one woman have

Before she can hear people cry ?

How many deaths will it take till we know

Too many people have died ?

The answer, the answer my friend is blowing in the wind

Oh the answer is blowing in the wind.

最後向美國民歌天后 Joan Baez 致敬，祝願她的歌聲長存、永垂不朽！
