Blowin In The Wind

I was looking at a commercial of fiat and i heard  'blowin in the wind' and I liked the song very much. So I looked at wiki and found out it was orginally from Bob Dylan. But the song in the fiat commercial was a woman's voice. So I went to youtube and found out that it was Katie Melua who sang the song. I have some songs of Bob Dylan but this one I didn't have so this one will go in to my iTunes and Ipod.
But I couldn't leave it at that (oh no, because i'm that crazy) I went and looked at every artist who sang this song. This is a great song and you have to give it a listen before judging it.
It's a shame I couldn't find all the song versions.
I loved the Katie Melua, Sam Cook and the Vanessa Paradis & Suzanne Vega version. 
Take Care 
Here are the lyrics of the song:
"Blowin' In The Wind"
How many roads most a man walk downBefore you call him a man ?
How many seas must a white dove sail Before she sleeps in the sand ?
Yes, how many times must the cannon balls fly Before they're forever banned ?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind.
Yes, how many years can a mountain exist Before it's washed to the sea ?
Yes, how many years can some people exist Before they're allowed to be free ?
Yes, how many times can a man turn his head Pretending he just doesn't see ?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind.
Yes, how many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky ? Yes, how many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry ?
Yes, how many deaths will it take till he knows That too many people have died ?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind.

I absolutely love that song.
Bob Dylan is a lyrical genious.
That's why so many of his songs are covered by other artists.

You should check out my blogs.
I have two of them on seperate accounts.
