鮑勃·迪倫,20世紀的搖滾教父,跨時代的文化偶像。1941年齣生於美國明尼蘇達州的希賓,20多年以後,成瞭60年代世界反主流文化的主將。“傳奇、偶像、謎…… 這類稱號或者誠心實意,或者無關痛癢,或者老生常談,拈來用之,還算輕易。但先知、基督、救星等等頭銜,就不是鬧著玩的瞭。”鮑勃•迪倫卻也確實稱得起所有這些頭銜,他是先知,是基督,是救星。他孕育瞭年輕一代的夢想、反抗和希望。他有力地呐喊對舊世界的否決。他賦予他那個時代某種自由的理念。他所塑造的新神話至今仍影響著我們。鮑勃•迪倫,既是享樂又是清醒,既是流行音樂又是哲學,既標新立異又尋根守底。是的,正是他,憑藉著幾首歌,創造瞭二十世紀的六十年代。《像一塊滾石》、《答案在風中飄蕩》、《手鼓先生》、《政治世界》、《重訪61號公路》等作品,不僅確立瞭迪倫在搖滾音樂史的教父級地位,也奠定瞭他作為20世紀偉大詩人的身份。

One would not anticipate a conventional memoir from Bob Dylan--indeed, one would not have foreseen an autobiography at all from the pen of the notoriously private legend. What Chronicles: Volume 1 delivers is an odd but ultimately illuminating memoir that is as impulsive, eccentric, and inspired as Dylan's greatest music.
Eschewing chronology and skipping over most of the "highlights" that his many biographers have assigned him, Dylan drifts and rambles through his tale, amplifying a series of major and minor epiphanies. If you're interested in a behind-the-scenes look at his encounters with the Beatles, look elsewhere. Dylan describes the sensation of hearing the group's "Do You Want to Know a Secret" on the radio, but devotes far more ink to a Louisiana shopkeeper named Sun Pie, who tells him, "I think all the good in the world might already been done" and sells him a World's Greatest Grandpa bumper sticker. Dylan certainly sticks to his own agenda--a newspaper article about journeymen heavyweights Jerry Quarry and Jimmy Ellis and soul singer Joe Tex's appearance on The Tonight Show inspire heartfelt musings, and yet the 1963 assassination of John Kennedy prompts nary a word from the era's greatest protest singer.
For all the small revelations (it turns out he's been a big fan of Barry Goldwater, Mickey Rourke, and Ice-T), there are eye-opening disclosures, including his confession that a large portion of his recorded output was designed to alienate his audience and free him from the burden of being a "the voice of a generation."
Off the beaten path as it is, Chronicles is nevertheless an astonishing achievement. As revelatory in its own way as Blonde on Blonde or Highway 61 Revisited, it provides ephemeral insights into the mind one of the most significant artistic voices of the 20th century while creating a completely new set of mysteries. --Steven Stolder

看迪倫的時候,覺得內心裏有扇窗子打開瞭,有什麼東西蠢蠢欲動,我想起他提到的靈魂,我覺得好像是自己的靈魂在他文字的召喚下慢慢蘇醒。 想起瞭村上春樹的《世界盡頭與冷酷仙境》,裏麵的讀夢人,閱讀保留在獨角獸頭骨裏的夢,讀夢人會漸漸失去記憶,失去他的心,就像我們。我...
評分原名Chronicles應該翻譯成《曆代紀》。 Bob Dylan 抱著膝蓋,一雙欲言又止的眼睛望著你,陽光勾勒著蓬鬆的頭發。Dylan的民謠代錶著一個時代,他所在的那個時代。 耳邊放著他的專輯,重新思想著Dylan到底是個怎樣的人。他永遠都不是主流,對於任何道貌岸然的東西保持著警惕...
評分稱迪倫為音樂詩人,絕對是沒有問題的。書中有一些段落,簡直可以作為寫文章的範本。 自己有感想的地方,順手勾畫瞭一下。下麵是部分劃綫句子的摘抄。 “她沒什麼有趣的。但我希望能有個望遠鏡。”(在一場無聊的談話中,迪倫把目光投嚮瞭街對麵的辦公室,看見一個女秘書在忙...
評分沒看這本書之前,我也看瞭王曉峰的評論,並且很擔心會否如同他所言,這是一本“意識流”讀本,更是為翻譯質量深深擔憂。 因為搜尋英文電子版未果,最後還是買瞭本中文版。 事實再一次告訴我,盲從他人是可笑的。最具諷刺意味的是,Dylan在這本編年史第一捲裏不遺餘力做的一件事...
評分去年,美國歌星鮑勃·迪倫齣版瞭自傳《編年史》(Chronicles)(第一部)。這對美國音樂界來說算是件大事,這不僅是因為迪倫現在的地位,更主要的是,迪倫從他成名以來,一直就是個備受關注但又非常神秘的人物。一方麵,他想方設法隱瞞自己的過去,另一方麵,媒體對他的窮追不捨...
