Add Your New Review About The Song The Reviews about Blowin' in the Wind (page 1/1) ------ performed by Bob Dylan Question marks hanging on the winds of chance | Reviewer: Steve Borrow | 3/15/2008 A lot of his fans regard this as the Young Dylan’s (i.e. from his folk singer period) signature anthem. It is constructed from nine rhetorical questions, which may be reduced to a single one: how long will injustice be ignored and tolerated? Bob includes within the compass of this inquiry the degradation of human dignity, war, racism, and oppression. The answer provided is probably more illusive than might first appear. He tells his universalized friend that: “the answer is blowing in the wind”. Like leaves carried upon metaphoric winds of chance, perhaps? It takes a genius to write a song like this when barely out of his teens. Peter Paul and Mary made it world famous and its seemed to succinctly express what a lot of people thought about the 1950s.
