现在的孩子们不那么认可了，真是世事苍桑。想当年BOB这个ORIGINAL VAGABOND是风头无两的啊。

BOB的形象，最生动的描画是在Joan Baez的名曲 Diamonds and Rust里边。每每听来，那种绝代风华无以言状。

据说洪晃大小姐留美时，恰逢此曲，也为之倾倒。

同样是大拿的Joan Baez曾经做过BOB的码子，似乎结局略苦涩，但是得一名曲DIAMOND AND RUST还真可算是不亏了。

It is often said [1] that the song describes Baez's relationship with Bob Dylan, ten years prior. In Baez's memoir, And a Voice to Sing With, she recounted how she told Dylan that the song was actually about her husband David Harris, thereby countering the claim that the song was about Dylan and Baez. Although Dylan is not specifically named in the song, Baez has admitted in her memoir as well as in a number of interviews that he is the inspiration for the song.

这段对话真是经典，尽在不言中。这俩彼此都很明戏啊!

The following excerpt shows Baez's rendition of this conversation between her and Dylan:

"You gonna sing that song about robin's eggs and diamonds?" Bob had asked me on the first day of rehearsals.

"Which one?"

"You know, that one about blue eyes and diamonds..."

"Oh", I said, "you must mean 'Diamonds And Rust', the song I wrote for my husband, David. I wrote it while he was in prison."

"For your husband?" Bob said.(BOB很受伤，很受伤)

"Yeah. Who did you think it was about?" I stonewalled.(凶狠)

"Oh, hey, what the f*** do I know?"(典型的BOB)

"Never mind. Yeah, I'll sing it, if you like."(还是念旧情)

In an interview [2] with music writer Mike Ragogna, Joan admitted that the character in the song is Dylan:

MR: "Diamonds And Rust" was another magic moment. You've said when you began writing the song, it started as something else until Dylan phoned you. Then it became about him. That must have been one helluva call.

JB: He read me the entire lyrics to "Lily, Rosemary, And The Jack Of Hearts" that he'd just finished from a phone booth in the Midwest.

MR: What was the song about originally?

JB: I don't remember what I'd been writing about, but it had nothing to do with what it ended up as.
