Blowin' In the Wind
No, not 'the answer', but the hot air of celebrity. Another hat tip to Laura for her discussions of Bob Dylan. Not only has he been a brilliant songwriter, but she played interview clips of Bob this week in which he showed tremendous saavy in dealing with the media.
Dylan refused to allow himself to be sucked in by the political left during the 60's and refused to be made a pawn of politics. He also had this wonderful quote that should be taken to heart by some of today's "I have all the answers" entertainers:
For some reason, the press thought that performers had the answers to all these problems in society. You know, what can you say to something like that? It's just kind of absurd.
-- Bob Dylan.
