这两天视野里四处飘着的关键词除了“诺贝尔文学奖”，好像就没有其他。滚君以为，这次颁的，也就是个人民文学奖，广大人民群众都能读懂的歌词，如果非得这么评文学奖，窃以为罗大佑下届也可能入选，歌词写得不比迪伦差，有些文字的清新度、立意和寓意还要强上几分。早上读某公号文章，看到一句“罗大佑书架上放着厚厚的《鲍勃.迪伦歌词集》”，瞬间了然，难怪在知悉迪伦大叔获奖消息时，滚君的反应是“为什么不是罗大佑”，根源在此。罗大佑中文歌词散发出的那些气息，是与迪伦大叔英文歌词语境气息非常接近的，但罗大佑的一些歌词，境界和情怀要更好一些，毕竟他年轻时从未将爱情解读为 love is just a four—letter word。
