〈Blowin’ in the Wind〉這首歌貫穿全文,Bob Dylan受訪曾說:「 I still say that some of the biggest criminals are those that turn their heads away when they see wrong and know it's wrong.(我依然認為,最大的罪犯就是那些看見並且心知肚明那是錯誤卻轉過頭去不予理會的人。)」
這也成為本書的主題。
How many times can a man turns his head Pretending he just doesn't see?
How does it feel, how does it feel? To be on your own, with no direction home Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose You're invisible now, you've got no secrets to conceal
