兒子的英文老師是Bob Dylan的超級粉絲,在他的教室四周都貼滿著Bob Dylan的海報。有一天,兒子的同學Max、在英文課中發表他對Bob Dylan的看法:「安老師我覺得Bob Dylan 很遜。」
老師問他:「Max你為什麼這麼認為?」
Max回答:「因為他演的電影很爛呀!」
安老師:「- - - - -」
聽兒子回家轉述這件故事不禁興奮又大力讚許安老師的眼光。Bob Dylan也是我的偶像,他在二十世紀美國流行音樂史的影響以及他的歌詞意境深遠並具有人文氣習。於是我將You tube Bob Dylan演唱的歌曲放給兒子聽,並問他的想法,只聽他勉強說:「我還是比較喜歡賈斯汀(Justine Timberlake)。」
唉!實在不該對他報以重望會欣賞Dylan的作品,他也同樣在英文課中和老師槓上,發表莎士比亞超遜的『高見』引起老師極大關切的孩子…
請聽Bob Dylan唱的Forever Young

May God
bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.
May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.
May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.
