貌似是个 Bob Dylan 的传记片。在 imdb 上近三千人投票的评分居然有 8.6 之高。一定要找来看看了。
大学时代有一年,同寝室的一个朋克青年借给我盘磁带,好象是叫 《The Best of Bob Dylan》 。翻来覆去地听,坐车的时候听,去自修的路上听,晚上躺在床上听,直到几乎每句话不管听懂听不懂都差不多能背下来。后来看了点美国当代史才知道,这个鲍勃迪伦代表了半个世纪前的那个时代。
顺便一说,此人还活着,只是老得不行了,投到 Sony 旗下,继续以摇滚叛逆的旗帜,为出版业的繁荣,为全球化的进程做贡献。如同满大街可见印有切格瓦拉的 T-Shirt、书包、帽子、围巾、牛仔裤、手机挂件...... 这叫做与时俱进。时代已经终结而生活还要继续。
再顺便一说,那盘磁带后来我还给了朋克青年本人。在之后的某次排练录音中,不小心把拿错带子把这盘经典的给洗了。我找遍上海所有正版盗版店都找不到这个叫迪伦的一点点东西,于是在那还是电话线拨号上网的上世纪,在BT出现以前,我学会了不下 10 种 P2P 软件。有时数小时的等待,只为了一首5分钟的歌曲,其中肯定包括下面的这首。
刚才一看到影片的片名,我马上就想到了这歌。太熟了,里面的每句歌词都被无数人引用过,尤其标为红色的那句,初听级具震撼效应,煽动着一代又一代身处社会边缘的愤青们释放出一无所有者惊人的破坏力。
Like A Rolling Stone
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didnt you?
Peopled call, say, beware doll, youre bound to fall
You thought they were all kiddin you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin out
Now you dont talk so loud
Now you dont seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
Youve gone to the finest school all right, miss lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you find out youre gonna have to get used to it
You said youd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
Hes not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And ask him do you want to make a deal?
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all come down and did tricks for you
You never understood that it aint no good
You shouldnt let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a siamese cat
Aint it hard when you discover that
He really wasnt where its at
After he took from you everything he could steal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
Theyre drinkin, thinkin that they got it made
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things
But youd better lift your diamond ring, youd better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you cant refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
Youre invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
