Bob Dylan:
- born: May 24, 1941 in US
name: Robert Allen Zimmerman
job: singer, songwriter, author, musician, poet
a number of his songs, such as “Blowin’ in the wind” and “The times they are a-Changin”, became anthems of the anti-war and civil rights movements.
Blowin’ in the wind
- It was released on his 1963 album The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan.
The song poses a series of philosophical questions about peace, war and freedom, without supplying concrete answers.
The refrain “the answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind” has been described as “impenetrably ambiguous: either the answer is so obvious it is right in your face, or the answer is as intangible as the wind.”
