Frazz by Jef Mallett for October 18, 2012

Mrs. O was into hard Rock not Peter Paul and Mary. Probably has some tats hidden somewhere.

42 (In any number base).

You’ve already called him a man…so the answer is 0.

Peter Paul and Mary had the first commercial success with the song. I’ve still got the album.

Mrs. Olson reminds me of an aunt who loved Perry Como, Andy Williams, and when she felt….frisky….Tom Jones and Englebert Humperdink.Tho…with a name like Olsen, she might prefer, POLKA!!!!!Blowing In The Wind still asks relevant questions.C.(knew an Olsen family and they were heavily into Polka and Garrison Keillor’s fictional Olsen’s have some polka love.)

What? He doesn’t have a car???

Hello Cousin Jeff, from Your Dad’s first cousin Richard Worra Sr.

If Mrs. O was a hippie? She’s a hippie now. Look at those hips!

I think the answer to that is a big “Nope.”

According to Ookla the Mok http://www.songlyrics.com/ookla-the-mok/math-lyrics/ “The answer my friend is 17.4”

Of course Dylan wrote it. It was first published in Broadside magazine in May, 1962. The Chad Mitchell Trio were the very first to record it, but their idiot record company delayed releasing it because the song contains the word “death”. PPM released the hit #1 version in July, 1963

BTW…I like Dylan’s version best of all…sounds a lot more soulful and earthy than the others: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A006XhYG7co

Actually, “Blowin’ in the Wind” was first released on Dylan’s “Free Wheelin’” album in May of ’63. The Beatles “Please Please Me” album was released in March of ’63.

Actually, she is still quite hippy.

The answer, my friend, is determined by your age….

“is blowin’ in the wind”, Dylan lyrics, even released by Dylan first, and most popularly done by P,P, and M…if you are old enough to know that folk came first, then came hippies.

42, if by coincidence you are, say 42 or thereabout, or have read what your 42 yr old parents have suggested.

or, the aforementioned, “what, he doesn’t have a car”, if you are too young to know what the other comments have any relation to.

Who cares? You don’t have to be a hippie to appreciate a good song.

If Mrs. Olson HAD been a hippie, she’d still have known the song well, so her NOT recognizing it is sufficient to provide Caulfield the information he was after.

this was alson done when he asked a male teacher the same question as the teacher was sitting on a woppie coushion. last frame the kid in the laundry room with Fraz washing his pants and the kid saying he laughed so hard he peed his pants.

You don’t have to be hippie to know Bob Dylan!!!

The 50s was the best time to be a teenager. Music made it great.

42 is a generic answer.- TO EVERYTHING. This is a specific question.

Oak Ridge Boy 61: Generally yes, but Peter Yarrow’s “Puff, the Magic Dragon” did quite well.
