本届诺贝尔文学奖得主鲍勃.迪伦的三首歌......歌词。
这两天视野里四处飘着的关键词除了“诺贝尔文学奖”,好像就没有其他。滚君以为,这次颁的,也就是个人民文学奖,广大人民群众都能读懂的歌词,如果非得这么评文学奖,窃以为罗大佑下届也可能入选,歌词写得不比迪伦差,有些文字的清新度、立意和寓意还要强上几分。早上读某公号文章,看到一句“罗大佑书架上放着厚厚的《鲍勃.迪伦歌词集》”,瞬间了然,难怪在知悉迪伦大叔获奖消息时,滚君的反应是“为什么不是罗大佑”,根源在此。罗大佑中文歌词散发出的那些气息,是与迪伦大叔英文歌词语境气息非常接近的,但罗大佑的一些歌词,境界和情怀要更好一些,毕竟他年轻时从未将爱情解读为 love is just a four—letter word。
