Wojciech Belon
Wojciech Belon (March 14, 1952 in Kwidzyn – May 3, 1985 in Kraków), also known as Wojtek Bellon, was a Polish poet, songwriter and folk music, folksinger. His best known ballad ''Majster Bieda (Master Poor)'' and most of his compositions have never been released by government controlled media which at that time was dominated by establishment approved songwriters such as Agnieszka Osiecka, though most college students and Polish youth knew them by heart from amateur tapes recorded at student and tourist festivals and similar musical events in Kraków 1974, Zielona Góra 1985, Busko Zdrój, Tarnów, Gdańsk. In Poland you can hear them until this very day as part of the repertoire of many bands. Belon was a symbol of youth frustration of the so-called lost generation of the late-1960s, 1970s and early-1980s in Poland. His writings were inspiring in the way Bob Dylan's songs in America were. The circumstances of his death in 1985 have never been disclosed. References Bibliograph ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan (legally Robert Dylan, born Robert Allen Zimmerman, May 24, 1941) is an American singer-songwriter. Often regarded as one of the greatest songwriters of all time, Dylan has been a major figure in popular culture during a career spanning more than 60 years. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s, when songs such as "Blowin' in the Wind" (1963) and " The Times They Are a-Changin' (1964) became anthems for the civil rights and antiwar movements. His lyrics during this period incorporated a range of political, social, philosophical, and literary influences, defying pop music conventions and appealing to the burgeoning counterculture. Following his self-titled debut album in 1962, which comprised mainly traditional folk songs, Dylan made his breakthrough as a songwriter with the release of ''The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan'' the following year. The album features "Blowin' in the Wind" and the thematically complex " A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall". Many of his s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

People From Kwidzyn
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...
