Blowin' in the Wind is a song written by Bob Dylan in 1962 and released as a single and on his album The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan in 1963. Although it has been described as a protest song, it poses a series of rhetorical questions about peace, war and freedom.
This song is a tribute to Marilyn Monroe, a famous actress and sex symbol who died of a drug overdose in 1962. The candle in the wind represents her short, but eventful life. The song makes various references to the press coverage of Monroe. The famous opening line, Goodbye Norma Jean, refers to her birth name: Norma Jean Mortenson, and how she gave up both her name and her privacy for the sake of celebrity. The lyrics were written by Elton's writing partner, Bernie Taupin, who got the idea for the title from a quote he read about Janis Joplin. According to Taupin, the song is more of a take on fame and celebrity than an ode to Marilyn Monroe.
