About Bob Dylan 關(guān)于鮑勃·迪倫
Bob Dylan is an American singer-songwriter, poet, and painter. He has been a major figure in music for five decades. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s when he was an informal chronicler, and an apparently reluctant figurehead, of social unrest. Though he is well-known for revolutionizing perceptions of the limits of popular music in 1965 with the six-minute single "Like a Rolling Stone", a number of his earlier songs such as "Blowing'in the Wind" and "The Times They Are a-Changin" became anthems for the US civil rights and anti-warmovements.
His early lyrics incorporated a variety of political, social and philosophical, as well as literary influences. They defied existing pop music conventions and appealed hugely to the then burgeoning counterculture. Initially inspired by the songs of Woody Guthrie, Robert Johnson, Hank Williams, and the performance styles of Buddy Holly and Little Richard, Dylan has both amplified and personalized musical genres, exploring numerous distinct traditions in American song-from folk, blues and country to gospel, rock and roll, and rockabilly, to English, Scottish, and Irish folk music, embracing even jazz and swing.
Dylan performs with guitar, keyboards, and harmonica. Backed by a changing line-up of musicians, he has toured steadily since the late 1980s on what has been dubbed the Never Ending Tour. His accomplishments as a recording artist and performer have been central to his career, but his greatest contribution is generally considered to be his songwriting.
Since 1994, Dylan has published three books of drawings and paintings, and his work has been exhibited in major art galleries. As a songwriter and musician, Dylan has received numerous awards over the years including Grammy, Golden Globe, and Academy Awards; he has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, and Songwriters Hall of Fame. In 2008, a road called the Bob Dylan Pathway was opened in the singer's honor in his birthplace of Duluth, Minnesota. The Pulitzer Prize jury in 2008 awarded him a special citation for "his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power."
他是20世紀(jì)的搖滾教父,跨時代的文化偶像。他孕育了年輕一代的夢想、反抗和希望。他有力的吶喊是對舊世界的否決。他賦予他那個時代某種自由的理念?!断褚粔K滾石》、《答案在風(fēng)中飄蕩》、《手鼓先生》、《政治世界》、《重訪61號公路》等作品,不僅確立了迪倫在搖滾音樂史的教父級地位,也奠定了他作為20世紀(jì)偉大詩人的身份。
鮑勃·迪倫的影響力主要體現(xiàn)在60年代,如果沒有迪倫,無疑搖滾樂將走一段彎路,將不會有"披頭士"的《佩珀軍士》(Sgt. Pepper),不會有"滾石"的《乞丐的宴會》(Beggar's Banquet),也不會有"樂隊"的《來自大平克的音樂》(Music form Big Pink),這就是他的影響程度。他對音樂的最主要的貢獻(xiàn),這點也影響了列儂和麥卡特尼之后的很多歌手,那就是歌詞的深刻寓意與音樂成為同等重要的一部分,從他一開始的抗議歌曲,就展示了他的歌詞比他的音樂更浪漫、更激動人心。他對工業(yè)國家整個一代人的敏感性的形成起了很大的作用,他的音樂對于理解和分析60年代是至關(guān)重要的。
