I'm just a person



Bob Dylan第一次去日本宣傳,1978年,呢段對話笑死……

Dylan : Well, I'm not a god of folk songs.

Translater: Then, who... then what are you?

Dylan : I'm just a person.

Bob Dylan唔單止成日俾傳媒標籤做「搖滾詩人」,最有趣係佢原來係九十年代已經被認可成為諾貝爾文學將既候選人(聽聞自1996年以後,有一位文學教授每 一年都會提名Bob Dylan,而每一年文學獎都會由被提名出黎約二百個候選人入面選5個出黎,再從5個入面選出得獎,但決選既5人名單50年之內都唔會被公開)。





"Ladies and gentlemen please welcome the poet laureate of rock 'n' roll. The voice of the promise of the 60's counterculture. The guy who forced folk into bed with rock. Who donned makeup in the 70's and disappeared into a haze of substance abuse. Who emerged to find Jesus. Who was written off as a has-been by the end of the 80's, and who suddenly shifted gears releasing some of the strongest music of his career beginning in the late 90's. Ladies and gentlemen - Columbia recording artist Bob Dylan!"
