Right on, Spaw!

There's nothing wrong with sweetness in delivery of a song, although I think of it more as gentleness. Gentleness can serve as an invitation to be introspective and reflective, and in that space, ask the questions that need asking. Sometimes that's a better place to seek the answers. Sometimes the gentleness makes us feel the pain of the way things are going even more deeply, thus moving us to say, "never again." Sometimes that gentleness is what it takes to provoke the fire that we saw in the eyes of PP & M. No doubt about their meaning when they sang those songs.

As for the meaning of the phrase, Blowin' In the Wind.....I could not presume to know what Dylan intended, but in my interpretation - As the wind is here, touching us all, nudging us, trying to get our attention....so are the answers.
