鮑勃·迪倫詩一般的歌詞

鮑勃·迪倫詩一般的歌詞

　　本屆諾貝爾文學獎得主鮑勃.迪倫的三首歌......歌詞。

　　這兩天視野裡四處飄著的關鍵詞除了“諾貝爾文學獎”，好像就沒有其他。滾君以為，這次頒的，也就是個人民文學獎，廣大人民群眾都能讀懂的歌詞，如果非得這麼評文學獎，竊以為羅大佑下屆也可能入選，歌詞寫得不比迪倫差，有些文字的清新度、立意和寓意還要強上幾分。早上讀某公號文章，看到一句“羅大佑書架上放著厚厚的《鮑勃.迪倫歌詞集》”，瞬間瞭然，難怪在知悉迪倫大叔獲獎訊息時，滾君的反應是“為什麼不是羅大佑”，根源在此。羅大佑中文歌詞散發出的那些氣息，是與迪倫大叔英文歌詞語境氣息非常接近的，但羅大佑的一些歌詞，境界和情懷要更好一些，畢竟他年輕時從未將愛情解讀為 love is just a four—letter word。
