I still don't get the meanings of "Blowin' In the Wind" and "Mrs.Robinson" |
|
"The answer my friend, is a-blowin' in the wind. The answer is blowin' in the wind."
I don't get it. Why is the "answer" blowing in the wind?
"And here's to you, Mrs.Robinson: Jesus loves you more than you will know..."
I've never really understood what "Mrs.Robinson" was all about.

Is typical Dylan preachiness. Hell, even he admits a lot of it was pap.
Mrs Robinson, on the other hand, is all about the character in "The Graduate". Watch the movie, then listen to the song a little. The song takes place after the events in the movie.
Basically, When her daughter ran off with Benjamin (?) she went crazy.

4. I think Mrs. Robinson is about America |
|
In terms of keeping up appearances, and that we all have some skeletons in the closets of our suburban enclaves. And the bitter disappointment we have in our leaders, but the futility of being able to do anything about it.
