ボブ・ディランが受賞スピーチで、私の埋もれていた曲をヒットソングにしてくれたと感謝した
ピーター、ポール&マリーの「風に吹かれて」
以下の歌詞は今聞いても生きてます
Yes,'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned ?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
どれだけ砲弾を打ち合えば
弾は底をつくのだろう
答えは友よ風の中にある
答えは風の中にある
ディランのスピーチ
I also have to mention some of the early artists who recorded my songs very, very early, without having to be asked. Just something they felt about them that was right for them. I've got to say thank you to Peter, Paul and Mary, who I knew all separately before they ever became a group. I didn't even think of myself as writing songs for others to sing but it was starting to happen and it couldn't have happened to, or with, a better group.
