大家還記得一個小時候的遊戲嗎?叫做「柯柏文」。就算不記得(或不知道),我想不用多解釋,只要打出來大家就知怎麼玩。
「屙.拍.聞」。
電影版由那一段火星Trailer開始,已經是萬眾期待,不過,導演是在荷里活也可算是惡名昭彰的Michael Bay。
說到Michael Bay口啤有多差,同樣地我只要用打一句說話大家就可以明白。
「珍.珠.港」。
簡直是擲地有聲。
不過我對變形金剛的看法是不會受Michael Bay影響,我沒有一次可以完整地看完全片,另一方面不暪你,我其實很喜歡Armaggedon絕世天劫、The Rock石破天驚、甚至成本較低的Bad Boys重案夢幻組。
我對Michael Bay絕對沒有偏見。
先旨聲明這不是一篇影評,因為這套變形金剛基本上無甚可評。整套電影有的,就是你事前知道會有的。一流視覺效果、出色的CG、充滿娛樂性的劇情……多一點都沒有。荷里活電影通常都充滿糖衣,但糖衣下少不免都要加一個主題或所謂的底層意義,效果有多深刻都看劇及導演的功力。即使是很純商業的電影,也有可能啓發你作出一點意考,又或許是一點感動。但變形金剛可以說是丁點兒也沒有。如果你會為柯柏文的願意為保護其他種族自我犧牲而動容,就實在多愁善感得有點嚇人,那接近是完全沒經過描寫的。
好,如果你認為說得太嚴重,又從導演技巧本身去談。其實以本片的娛樂性,中段為了弄笑話而節奏突然放緩得根全片不合,就讓我們先當作看不見。那些大混戰也真的有夠混亂,當你看到Megatron麥加登對Optimus Prime柯柏文的最後大戰一觸即發時,打倒坦克也還算,突然出現一場Starscream星星叫對F-22的空戰,當你還不知星星叫去到那裡時,鏡頭一轉已經看到麥加登要搶Allspark,原來柯柏文已經戰敗倒地!媽的!
好,動作場面混亂一點也還可以理解,畢竟Michael Bay不想再重蹈珍珠港覆轍,片壞還算了,超支才最致命,這套變形金剛要小心控制成本,CG用得不可太盡,角色太多長時間的連貫動作實在沒有成本效益。但那種角色設計了就要用得均勻,不可費錢,但好像星星叫本是麥加登的副手卻又安插不了戲份,造成所有副角都硬要上場卻又樣子都看不清,又把要角的戲份搶去使要角也變得描寫不足!可憐你還未認清誰是爵士,它就被麥加登撕成兩半。(可憐,我小時候最喜歡爵士)
那好,到底那一個人類、機械人的性格而感覺到印象深刻呢?
博派全是愛開玩笑的好人,你真的感覺到Jazz爵士有著率性的搖滾性格嗎?Ratche力捷除了黃狗射尿還有些甚麼?好一點的應該Bumblebee大黃蜂,出場機會較多你不得不承認可以看到他的一點佻皮,而Ironhide對人類不友善的態度也總算是沒有描寫中的描寫。
狂博?都是一堆邪惡機械人。如果你之前不知誰是星星叫,你根本不知為何麥加登一復活就責怪它。
如果不說CG、惹笑劇情、刺激動作的話,唔,或許可以讚一讚Michael Bay沒有玩吊癮當有趣,很早就安排Blackout現身大戰一場,算是唯一我想讚一讚的地方吧。
對了,為甚麼我小時候最喜歡爵士呢?因為我覺得它很靚仔!(我小時候都要包拗頸,例如喜歡松山不喜歡翅偉、喜歡冰河不喜歡星矢、喜歡比達不喜歡悟空……等等等等)
(不要問原因!天曉得自己幾歲大的時候想些甚麼?)

乜都冇做過的星期日
尋晚係冇沖涼既情況下,開住電視睇下久違既棒球,紐約洋基對唔知乜鬼,睇到係梳化訓著左,訓之前2-3,洋基對手個投手好似咩緊鑊……
棒球呢種運動好奇怪,你話佢好少郁動,但上疊、接殺以至擊球,運動能力底d既人都做唔好,即係話打捧球幫唔到你提升體能,但你要提升體能先可以打得好棒球。技術亦係一樣,投球、揮捧同接殺都係好講技巧,但你一場波又係做唔到幾多下動作,又係要靠練波去練,唔可以話踢波咁,靠實戰練都練到唔少野。
好多運動都係要求運動員可以係好短時間內下決定。棒球好有趣,好多人都會以為扔波果個夠快就得,打果果下下最大力就得,但事實根本唔係。唔同既情況下投手係會投唔同既球,就更唔駛講有時要計埋擊球手既慣性。
但,大家其實係有好多時間去做判斷的。
都係完。

南華 vs 利物浦補飛
我身後有位哥仔,懷斯一入波:「Waow(留意拼法)!抵啦!呢一百蚊!淨係呢球都夠啦!」(不停重覆呢個point)我忍唔住同姐夫講:「不如俾一百蚊淨係睇呢一秒丫!」
之前李海強入自由球,「Waow!仲靚過懷斯啦!」(不停重覆呢個point)我再同姐夫講「李海強踢港甲架喎,你俾二十蚊就有得睇,係咪仲抵?」
當然,真相係殘酷既,李海強平時自由球射就成日射,但其實冇乜點入……呢廿蚊都係……
聽日原本話去,但傳說冇飛,取消了。
今次係我第一次坐南看台,如果我冇記錯,我次次入大球場都係座西看台,即係比較少上電視果邊,底層坐得最多,高層(港聯只有陸冠邦一個華人果年既賀歲杯)同中層(早排既烏茲別克)各一次,北看台就係上次利物浦訪港坐過一次。
沖涼先。

英超挑機盃
lunch時間收到姐夫電話,竟然叫我去睇,咁我當然去睇啦,有人去我又有乜所謂,去睇下南華都好!
又睇得似模似樣喎!迪天奴雖然冇係港甲時咁屈,但仍然做到hold波回波既工作,佢轉身動作同推波步頭既速度真係唔似一米八九同差不多二百磅!實在太強了!返而來頭好似好勁既前巴西甲/厄瓜多爾甲既巴路士暫時一般,佢睇資料身型同迪天奴差不多,但就唔似迪天奴咁倒三角咁fit,不過可能未fit的,見步頭都唔爽。
後防個沙域臣真係有184?我覺得大豪高佢好多!大豪資料都好似係寫185之嘛!但沙域臣包波很好,幾下都包得好準,輸十二碼感覺有少少不幸,動作礙眼但其實都係擔落去冇出手的,對比上季南華初段入果批中堅似乎更好(82年昨佢!仲後生過祖爾!)佢母會係巴乙既聖十字(如果有印象,南華上季中有一個外型成個李華度咁既防中基頓,對大埔時恰人後備龍入左個世界波,原來都係聖十字借返黎),上季降班,之前佢係外借左去葡超的!見有d人覺得上季尾既基斯好過佢,我覺得單睇呢一場佢好過基斯喎,佢包波好快好準,兩三下佢唔到已經死左……基斯除左身型好過佢,感覺上……
華人方面,李志豪打左針咁喎!其實今日南華都點唔到名邊個特別差,我估都係S祖利亞啦,不過呢件上季踢愉園風評一流,我估係港甲係夠用的。
唔,好期待開咧添!(港甲)

城巿驚喜:球星篇
今朝返工,行到去我平時必入果一個入口排陣,一時間嚇左一跳,我竟然見到黎祥愛將黃鎮宇。喂,做乜我以前唔見佢架呢?睇佢個袋咁多野都似係去練波,一朝早同佢迫火車呀下。乜佢原來咁鬼高,資料係179但我拍埋去(佢同我迫係埋一齊,佢仲企唔穩搭左我膊頭一下,但佢又幾鬼有禮貌講唔好意思),我覺得佢好似爭陳旭智好少,資料黎講陳旭智高佢兩吋架喎都應該。
咁當然,我冇理佢啦,話哂佢而家簽左華家堡,都算係大埔既敵對球會(由高層執位至聯賽目標都算係對手了)。
係火車撞到黃鎮宇黎講都事小,我去到中環轉車,部車一開門仲要行個伊雲羅出黎!(巴西佬都認得?)我深信果個如果唔係伊雲羅既話,佢就係伊雲羅既孖生兄弟,或者同伊雲羅99%相似既人!
講開又講,我今日其實一樣係平常時間到月台,但除左見到平時見唔到既黃鎮宇,仲見到一個科大Busi既女仔,我當然認得!佢同我前roomate都做過一陣莊mate兼佢明顯係hall one人(唔係hall one人都肯定係hall one蛇)。最奇異既係,我朝早係粉嶺月台同埋尖東時係車箱見到佢以外,放工我係上環上車,佢係落車的!

本週末星踪
原本星期五係林住同Jackel去睇Planet Terror的,但係放工前短成話正人君子燊約我地燒野食去慶祝佢生日,最終係「你地重要D!」呢個教晦下,我都決定將Planet Terror搬去星期六。係我開緊會期間黎講,姐夫打黎問我係咪燒,我話係,
咁等短成車時我咪順手組織一下星期六既節目安排。咁好喇,短成車到,居然話仆街燊話一直都話係去佢到燒,等等等等。呢d就真係唔知短成同正人君子燊點溝通了,但如果真係入東涌燒,好明顯一定唔成事啦,起碼我一定唔會去,在場阿成父母都即場話有冇搞錯,講多兩講,其實去東涌佢屋企燒,不如去石澳、去西貢去赤柱woohoo啦……
最後三個人加一隻貓咁燒,吹下水背叛下人,幾爽,同埋短成屋企夜晚出面真係幾涼爽。woohoo!
禮拜六就同Jackel阿洲一齊進軍書展,迫來迫去咁啦,得個迫字,走果陣仲要打蛇餅,令到我地遲左去到戲院!頂佢!我miss左段假trailer!
戲就俾想像中少d好笑既地方,我最鍾意既就係科學家講左d唔知乜野廢話,同一班人沖唔沖過去唔知有乜關係,根住好拙劣地探頭然後無啦啦俾人一槍爆頭。唔知係咪B movie好多呢種同決定無關既解釋,但呢一段真係無聊到極,硬膠指數真係捉夠拎去挑戰達爾文獎。
冇乜口水……唔講。
連哈利波特都唔識串,點會鍾意哈利波特?

連哈利波特都唔識串,點會鍾意哈利波特?
希望結局真係結局,仲嫌賺唔夠?
哈利波特簡直係異常討厭。
當然,鍾意睇當然可以,我亦唔會話鍾意睇果個係傻,事實我冇乜睇過,我唔會有乜特別評價。
但首先,我對呢種Over Hyped既現象本來就異常討厭。我地唔好講佢而家呢種劇力萬鈞、死人林樓到底係本身作為兒童讀物已經想係咁寫,一話到底係一賣成名以後為左配合其他媒介既商售而做既決定,由得佢。
疲勞轟炸故然係討厭。聞西密碼都係非常之hyped的,亦令好多「文人雅仕」突然好似好認識Dan Brown,呢d我覺得倒係其次。哈利波襪時間長得黎,全球傳媒不約而同地一齊幫手煲,書商幫手煲,作者又一齊煲,由故事以至宣傳咁多年黎都貫徹始終,每次穿少少你知,講d唔講d,仲要係連作者行出黎話你知有兩個要角會死,當中果一份夾雜銅臭無聊既低品味,無所不用其極地刻意挑逗讀者,真係好鬼嘔心。
到底係故事好到出奇令人要得知劇情而後快,定係商人有心營造一個似乎全球有識之事都希望知道故事結局既氣氛,令人覺得身為有識之仕不得不參與?
我從來冇聽過任何一個人同我覺睇完哈利波特有乜感受,故事點樣起伏轉折又或世界觀係如何地吸引人,引人既只係營銷手法,每一集都係下一集既預告,所以有關報導都係預告,而高潮唔係故事而係開銷既一日,到底結局係乜根本唔重要,重要既係「書迷」們可以知道結局了卻一件心事。
邊個死唔死,點解邊個死邊個唔死,邊個死唔死有乜藝術效果,完全冇人有興趣,故事亦唔需要有任何意義,呢d根本就係師奶劇既寫照,只係包裝唔同被吸引既人唔同。
單單係呢d咁既手法已經令我感到討厭,當然如果故事或文筆或世界觀真係可以令人驚為天人,我想我未必會討厭佢,但我唔認為哈利波特係。

Eat is very important
食好重要。
我係帶飯之鬼,據個file既資料顯示,呢盒飯係6月20號的。果兩條魚柳簡直令到成個飯盒睇落升左成個level,色香味都唔同哂。不過當然,其實叮完之後唔算好好食,而且我冇沙律醬……(但公司好似有沙律醬的……)
上個禮拜有得食炸脾!太感動了!事過境遷人面全非,今時今日既炸脾已經唔再係科大既炸脾,咬落去就係冇左果份親切感呀下(講咁多做乜姐!其實係呢隻冇咁好味之嘛),正如歌仔都有得唱,"a bad cover version of love is not the real thing/"(Bad cover version by Pulp)。
"the original was so good; the one you no longer own."(其實我都可以返去食,只係有d無聊)
大家記住,唔好將一樣野當係另一樣野既代替品,如果唔係,歌仔都有得唱"he's going to let you down my friend."(Bad cover version by Pulp,係,我係好煩的)。兩樣野就係兩樣野,學會去欣賞下新既自己既優點,例如,呢隻炸脾可以配薯條的!呢一點就係科大炸脾/科大脾/科脾冇既野!
晚餐!woohoo!

How Music Changes Through The Year
不得不承認,我非常非常少收聽電台節目。如果我沒有記錯,我的第一部Walkman是在小一的時候買的,可以聽錄音帶又可以聽收音機的那種。那個時候,每逢下午六時左右會收聽大陸電台的廣播劇,記得聽過的節目有一千零一夜及西遊記,另外還有軟硬天師的節目,年代久遠,甚麼都記不起來,只記得羅姑娘、何鑑硬及賴軟正。
之後再聽電台節目,應該是中六、七,睡前由嘩嘩嘩打到黎、蔡康年的恐怖熱線聽到無人駕駛。聽嘩嘩嘩打到黎的得著應該是熊天平的傻哥歌、許冠傑的心裡日記、以及蘇民峰說的「羅馬鼻」,能記著的就只有這麼多。
Radio Ga Ga的主題大概就是說MTV的出現如何改變了音樂,人們如何由純粹從音樂出發的角度去欣賞音樂到開始越來越用眼晴去欣賞音樂。(有一點諷刺的是,Queen的Bohemian Rhapsody經常被誤認為史上第一個MV,原因是它是第一個觀賞性強烈的MV,而Radio Ga Ga的MV的映像效果同樣是異常用心)
但你不用跟Roger Taylor一樣喜歡電台節目,才會被這一首歌感動。單單是從音樂自身的力量,這一首Radio Ga Ga應該可以感動到很多人。
當聽到Freddie Mercury唱著「Radio what's new? Radio, someone still loves you!」,已經足夠讓你感受到一股能夠讓人落淚的情感。難道你沒有一刻感受到獨單、寂寞、被遺棄的感覺?聽到有人對一個被遺棄的人唱這一句,實在難掩一種感動,實在太好了,這個世界還有一點點溫暖的。

Queen
從來沒有否認,我認為Bohemian Rhapsody是經典中的經典。而我亦從來沒有否認We are the champions及We will rock you是一流的搖滾樂。
但我從來沒有說過我是Queen的樂迷,真的不是,雖然我擁有他們的其中一張精選(可恨,沒有Bo Rhap)。
Queen在我心目中是一隊華麗至極的樂隊。主音Freddie Mercury豪無疑問是擁有一把搖滾樂史上最美的聲線,編曲亦常見制式浩大,氣勢磅礡,古巨基說Bo Rhap是一首Prog Rock作品,而Queen亦同時是所謂的Art Rock樂隊,風格如何可見一斑。
我會欣賞這種音樂,但未見會非常投入地喜愛。要我認真地除了喜愛還加入更多一點點,那就不單單是音樂是否美麗是否好聽,通常要讓我聽到熱情,一種可以真切地感受到的熱情。
我起初認為我在Queen之中聽不到。
Freddie Mercury原來除了有一把可以唱三個半八度的漂亮聲線,他同樣是怪物級的搖滾舞台主音,那種台上的絕對忘我風彩及星味,由演唱到舞動的絕對壓場感……我也不喜歡他的髮型、衣著及那鬍子,我亦不是同性戀,但他的神采絕對超級了任何外表上的判斷。演繹上的點石成金,可以把「好音樂」或「經典音樂」變成「真正喜歡的音樂」。對,就是因為這兩條片,我決定要買多一片Queen的唱片(必需要有Bo Rhap及Radio Ga Ga),以及Live Aid的DVD。不是因為The Who,不是因為David Bowie,這次是因為Queen。

Live Earth
到底講環保點解要用呢種Live-aid like既show去做呢?Arctic Monkey既鼓手話太假喇,我地呢d人淨係為左Stage Lighting已經用左夠十間屋用一晚既電。Muse主音亦話太假了。
Bob Geldof可能覺得俾人抄名啦下,但點都要聽下Roger Daltrey講乜:提高環保意識?阿水都知天氣變啦!係要搞環保既最唔需要既就係一場Rock Show。一係快d燒哂d油佢,d政治人咪會搵d乾淨d既能源囉。
我真係覺得,你而家咁樣,就好似落街搵個妙齡少女搾人個胸一下,然後同佢講我係為左提高大家既防強姦意識。
果陣明日之後咪又好多人睇完話自己好多反思(真架!真係好多的!),超!
作為一個對樂壇唔係咁熟悉既人,個Lineup對我來說真係有太唔吸引了。抽一d出黎講下,不過其實都可能係只聞其名其事或只聽過一兩首的……不過我有野吹下水咁解。
英國:
Genesis - 六十年代末七十年代初,古巨基所講既Progressive Rock元祖之一,大家可能更加熟一d Phil Collins既Solo?Peter Garbriel怪異既演出在隊中被排擠後,鼓手Phil Collins做埋主音,一陣俾大家睇下有頭髮版既Phil Collins係Live Aid時唱大家耳熟能詳既Again All Odds,我成日覺得佢d動靜好鬼似桑田佳祐的。(我記得睇過佢一個Another day in paradise既live act係到R袋的)
Madonna - 你信唔信佢真係全心投入環保?其實佢真係一個很好的表演者,台上風采真係很利害,不過講到音樂才華等等呢d就另計了,最好既碟同歌永遠不減用錢打造出黎既味道。
Razorlight、Duran Duran、Red Hot Chili Peppers、Bloc Party、Terra Naomi、Keane、Metallica、James Blunt、Beastie Boys、Pussycat Dolls、Foo Fighters都係只聞其名其事或只聽過一兩首的……
美國:
Bon Jovi - 我買佢都係一兩首新碟歌加Living on a Prayer……
The Police - 唔知點解我始終都唔係好鍾意The Police,偏見!絕對係偏見!
Jonhn Mayer、Alicia Keys、Dave Matthews Band、Kelly Clarkson、The Smashing Pumpkins、Roger Waters、Trisha Yearwood都係只聞其名其事或只聽過一兩首的……
日本:
大塚愛 - 我同佢真係唔係咁熟,早一排好似話幾紅下,但我真係冇乜機會聽佢既歌,佢走既路線應該係思覺老師口中既傻X女路線?應該都係仆街燊鍾意果類。
UA - 網友提起Bonnie Pink係日本少有唔駛化妝都可以賣碟既女歌手,我即刻要講UA!UA仲勁!化唔化妝都冇分別!
Bonnie Pink - 數完英美,我都只係有兩隻Bon Jovi既碟!但日本我已經有一隻Bonnie Pink啦!如果話JAM既雀斑係我最鍾意既浪客劍心Openning,咁Bonnie Pink既It's gonna rain應該係最鍾意既Ending了。佢果陣既路線真係幾獨特下,好唔日本,唔係話佢果隻碟監制係瑞典人(The Cardigans果個)先講,咁佢真係瑞典人監制,整左d好北歐Pop味既出黎,模糊甜美輕節奏的慢板流行樂。
YMO - 幾勁!仲YMO添!點解Ap Band Fes冇佢地既?唔係話阪本龍一有份提出的嗎?櫻井和壽冇戈爾咁有牙力嗎?講開戈爾,早幾日睇新聞唔係話佢個仔藏有大麻俾人拉左的嗎?仲有,聽聞近排佢對於會唔會再去選總統既態度軟化左……我其實都唔太信佢做呢場Show係冇私心的……
RIZE、絢香、Cocco、Linkin Park、Rip Slyme都係只聞其名其事或只聽過一兩首的……
中國:
黃耀明 - 點講都要提一提的。
容十年 - 其實佢可以扮MJ唱Earth Song同Heal the world去配合主題丫……
Sarah Brightman - 點解會走左黎上海玩的?非常有趣,我多手Click入去佢個Wiki見到話佢可以唱到3個Octave,Freddie Mercury唱到3個半!題外話,聽聞話Mika被用黎同Freddie Mercury比較,但Mika唱法好似多好多假音喎。一陣又睇下被稱為Queen最佳演出,係Live Aid既片。Freddie Mercury此人的確係天生搖滾主音……冇得傾的……
其他人唔點講,任何人應該都比我熟……
澳洲、南非、巴西、德國
Jack Johnson、Enrique Iglesias、Lenny Kravitz、Macy Gray
總論係,從環保角度一話睇Show角度,都冇乜興趣……但令我有興趣買返Live Aid黎睇!
有頭髮架!
呢段就真係冇得傾!
呢段最正!搞支Bass搞左好耐!仲要訊號中斷,The Who在Live Aid有很多「狀況」的(很台灣的講法啊!)。
Bob Geldof可能覺得俾人抄名啦下,但點都要聽下Roger Daltrey講乜:提高環保意識?阿水都知天氣變啦!係要搞環保既最唔需要既就係一場Rock Show。一係快d燒哂d油佢,d政治人咪會搵d乾淨d既能源囉。

You Don't Have to Fxxk People Over to Survive
記得曾經在新聞組,有一班人在談論流行樂,有人指出現今樂壇現以往比較在於,現在沒有一首歌曲是"Timeless"的,而所謂"Timeless"的歌,他以John Lennon的Imagine為例。
這就讓我想起了很有趣的一點。Imagine的主題是大同世界,是談談你去想像一個大同世界,充滿了希冀,由此你已經可以知道這首歌一定是Timeless的,對此曲的共鳴一定是世代相傳……因為大同世界永遠只會在想像之中。
今天跟短成談起內地的營商環境,大家都知道在內地不單止商業活動,就連學術活動,都講求「人面」,要講「人際關係」,不「使人家高興」的話你是生存不下去的。短成說,問題是當你「討好」那些人士時,你的「討好」又會成為內部人士的把柄,內部人士又會從中拿「著數」,你要動那些內部人士嗎?他手中有你的把柄。
這就是資本主義,人人以利益為首要目的的後果,說共產主義其實都只剩下一個名目,不走資本主義又富強不起來,但法治精神又未(不可以)建立起來,出現的就是如此這般,不貪、不幹黑事、不害人的就只會吃苦。
我從來都不相信人心。我不是說所有人都沒有道德或貪婪至極,問題是法律面對的是所有人,而大部分人都是沒有道德或貪婪至極(如果你自認不是,你可以想想自己有沒有說過剛出來工作的人的忠直行為是「on9」或不懂「辦公室生存之道」,如果有,那麼你已經有足夠的潛力受到引誘,沒有人會想「on9」,亦大部分人都喜歡顯示自己比別人懂得多)。只有黑紙白字的法律是(比較)可信,我們要的不是由人去保障我們,而是由制度本身去保障我們。短成說法律都只是遊戲,香港自稱法治,那些「討好」的遊戲還不是存在,只是換了形式。對的,問題是起碼法治給予我們一條最基本的底線,亦使情況不會一直走下坡。另一方面,短成說的也就是另一個人心不可信的例證:即使有法律,人們還是會走法律鑽法律罅,去找灰色地帶。
葉劉、李少光等人的「你信我啦,局長唔會呃你既」,跟本就是從邏輯道理不通下的無理說辭,法律遊戲在我這個外行人看來,不是講「信用」、「人格」,而是「規條」。(當然,我亦相信「法律面前、窮人含撚」這個曠古絕今的道理)
亦由此可見,我因為搖滾樂的叛逆精神而折服,卻從來不Punk不龐克 — 雖然它是把叛逆精神推再極至的一種文化。不是說不我聽龐克,事實我最容易投入的音樂中很多都有著龐克音樂的外在要旨(高速、混雜、簡單、三和弦,如早期Judy and Mary、Iggy Pop & The Stooges、Lou Reed、地下天鵝絨……)。問題是我從來沒有想像我可以當個龐克客。這裡說的龐克客不是那些穿皮衣剪個崩頭那種虛有其表的自以為龐克客,而是信仰龐克思想的那一種。
我不信任無政府主義。龐克的一大敵人就是資本主義,抗爭及無政府主義是要抗放個體,使人會從資本主義中脫出,不再為金錢及利益所異化及勞役,不再被階級主義矮化,得到自由及自我。而我的看法是,當人們脫出規條以後,最大可能發生的就是人們再一次用利益、暴力去提升自己的權力去得到利益。在我看來,可見將來人心也還是一樣。大唱甚麼Anarchy in UK也還是一樣,Anarchy就更不會in HK,No Future倒也還是真的。
你相信人們可以擺脫一切利益及階級權力去建立一個大同世界嗎?Timeless除了音樂本身,也包括了信念。今天不再是六、七十年代,就算你有一個喜歡把政治觀點寫進歌裡的一流音樂人,他能脫出今時今日的社會運作觀念嗎?就算有,也沒有市場,大家都向金錢及階級看。就像我大力批評那隊只會翻唱情歌「西仔」是,有人會說「你唔抵得人咋?人地而家都不知幾紅呀!」即使你從本質去看事物,對人都會從階級或利益角度去猜度你出言的原因。即使今天有另一隊Beatles,也不會再一次成為可以衝擊社會文化的Beatles,看到我們有的是努力去當巨星的Coldplay嗎?當然還有只會掙炒票的「西仔」。
想像一個大同世界是永遠不會停止的,因為它只會活在想像之中。

I can't see for miles and miles and miles...
The Who黎講,話說尋日七筒帶我去海港城間HK Record,竟然唔覺意見到有Tommy電影同埋Isle of wight DVD!
我真係估唔到會見到!完全估唔到!太好了!不過仲係未見到The Kids Are Alright既DVD,據Roger Daltrey講,以前果d搖滾樂紀錄片都只係要黎令到Robert Plant睇落好大碌,但The Kids Are Alright頭半部拍到The Who四條友都好似傻仔咁。(咁你地係咪係囉,唔好怪人,嘿!)
今日睇過下隻Tommy,不過因為太忙,只係求其咁睇下。聽碟同睇電影個感覺真係好唔同。例如我想像中既1921時,Tommy應該仲細個一d,又例如Cousin Kevin果陣Tommy又應該冇咁大隻。Acid Queen不是應該幹了Tommy的嗎?Sally Simpson想像中冇咁細個……等等等等。
最勁係,我今日係火車睇有線娛樂新聞,譚校長著住件The Who Tee!幾靚下添仲要!識著!識著!

今日睇過下隻Tommy,不過因為太忙,只係求其咁睇下。聽碟同睇電影個感覺真係好唔同。例如我想像中既1921時,Tommy應該仲細個一d,又例如Cousin Kevin果陣Tommy又應該冇咁大隻。Acid Queen不是應該幹了Tommy的嗎?Sally Simpson想像中冇咁細個……等等等等。

回歸杯 + 瑞士尖刀
最麻煩係要撲飛,如果唔係我都可能去睇。
如果早d講卓佩沙會黎,我會有更大動力去睇的,仲要拎件多蒙特去俾佢簽名。
卓佩沙係多蒙特近廿年最佳前鋒啦絕對,當打時係歐洲最佳前鋒之一。我仲成日覺得佢早過蘇達史科沙呢d成名少少,其實都差不多,成班都係94年已經成名。(我成日覺得史科沙冇咁早,蘇達呢d快翼又閃一閃就冇左)
踢左唔夠半場……唔。
呢場係我第一場睇而覺得盧均宜踢得好既比賽!佢係流浪我有睇既佢都冇乜特别的!
完。
