the song pre-dates devolution, so the empty house may actually refer to the old high school which was long considered to be where Home rule would be based. |

Anyone who suffers from insomnia probably knows the hopelessness and intense wish just to fall asleep which this song is about. Some people use Canabis to relax themselves and fall asleep. |

>Whether you're stowaway's son or BBC 1 This I think is really a statement of who the following statement applies to. Everyone. BBC viewers are often viewed socially as being posher than the ITV viewers. Where as the Stowayways son is to symbolise the lowest standing in society. The BBC are required to be politically neutral and as such can be expected to provide a much more balanced view of the situation than anyone else. THe perception with all other channels ITN productions included being seemingly pro-war can and did provide the perception that the BBC were very much anti-war. I ocasionally watch Fox and Sky news for a laugh. |

| Bob Dylan – Blowin' in the Wind Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
The BBC are currently running a documentart series about the history of Soul Music called Soul Deep. Episode 2 "Gospel Highway" was about the cross over from Gospel to Soul with the main focus being on Sam Cooke. In this they claim that Sam Cooke's final song was a response to Bob Dylans Blowin in the Wind. Whether or not Dylans message was about segregation wasn't mentioned by Cooke apparently was stunned to realise that this was a white man singing about something that blacks didn't dare. In this context "How many roads must a man walk down, before you can call him a man" reffers to the calling of Black Men "boy" by white oppressors. On this note the song is about the oppressed and how even though they are something they are not recognised as being so. Another way to phrase the question may be How long will it be before a black man is called a man? However the rhetorical questions open up a much wider range of things that can be considered. Cannon Balls may reffer to war but they could also reffer to legal verbal abuse or legal segregation of "races" THere are other questions there that can also reffer to all forms of oppresion. The mountain could be a current state and how long will it be until its eroded away? I see it as a range of questions that reffer to the many unjust things in this world. War and Oppression being jsut 2 of them |
