60年代,如日中天的Joan Baez遇见青涩潦倒的Bob Dylan,她照顾他,她教导他,她引荐他,她与他在音乐会上共用一个话筒唱著名的Blowing in the wind。然后他离开她,当她一直仰望着他唱着时。他成为一个诗人,一颗无法掩藏的diamond,他指责她和鄙夷她,当她为反越战为自由运动献出自己的声音时,并为此写下了Like a rolling stone。75年一个突如其来的久违电话,令她写下不朽的Diamond and Rust。坐牢,穿梭越战,环球旅行,出版自传,她都坚决高傲,只因为那个满月的接到电话的日子,她写道:I'll be damned. 她甚至祈求,用你一直擅长的暧昧的文字游戏,就那样,告诉我。而Bob Dylan正是那样含混不清演绎了许多年,若即若离,要她的陪伴,却不要她的感情。他们甚至割了胳膊让血液流在一起,只为了“结成兄妹”。我想她一定是爱疯了,她自己也这样想。但是她终于离开了,得不到的灵魂和得不到的爱,只留下经典的Diamond and Rust,每隔数年,响彻在历史的灰烬。2008年格莱美,Joan Baez七老八十,她抱着吉他,循惯例,将当年的ten years ago I bought you some cufflinks,改成forty years ago, I bought you some cufflinks。属于一个时代的巨星早已陨落,却注定不属于一个女人。那些在台下静静聆听的人,会为了这华发丛生的老奶奶,流下泪来。钻石和铁锈,她比之Bob Dylan和自己,可是,谁会比谁更不朽?
在生日的晚上写下这些似乎不合适,我并不在意,车上玻璃窗明亮的幻影,一霎那,我明白我又变了一些,像蜕壳的蝉。他们说,你想得太多了;他们说,你需要的是时间;他们说,不要去深究就会慢慢变好。可是他们不是我,我是那样固执,必须想明白藤蔓般缠绕的问题,一寸寸一丝丝,好对自己有个交代。Diamond and rust,曾经他们只是泥土与矿石。

Diamond and Rust
Well , I'll be damned .Here comes your ghost again. But that's not unusual.
It's just that the moon is full and you happened to call. And here I sit, hand on the telephone.
Hearing a voice I'd known, a couple of light years ago. Heading straight for a fall.
As I remember your eyes were bluer than robin's eggs. My poetry was lousy, you said.
"Where were you calling from?" "A booth in the Midwest".
Ten years ago I bought you some cufflinks. You brought me something.
We both know what memories can bring. They bring diamond and rust.
Well, you burst on the scene were already a legend. The unwatched phenomenon, the original vagabond you strayed into my arms.
And there you stayed ,temporarily lost at sea. The Madonna was yours for free. Yes, the girl on the half shell could keep you unharmed.
Now I see you standing with brown leaves falling all around.
Snow in your hair. Now you're smiling out the window of that crummy hotel over Washington Square.
Our breath comes out white cloud mingles and hangs in the air.
Speaking strictly for me. We both could've died then and there.
Now you're telling me you're not nostalgic.
Then give me another word for it. You who're so good with words and at keeping thing vague.
Cause I need some of that vagueness now.
It's all come back too clearly. Yes , I love you dearly.
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust, I've already paid.
