Something mixed the rock and blues which also add a layer of funk on top of a acid-free-jazz with pop sense after a classical tradition as lazy as shoegaze but also some grunge bits. Incorporated the euro dance beat deviated from house and power chord strumming as raw as proto-punk and as sexy as the rockabilly. a little groovy, a little melancholic. contrarily, with also adding loads of punk's anger so that it will transform everything into the energy of neo-thrash hardcore metal with a hip hop attitude and new romantic aura out of the impressionism, however.
Bruce Sprintsteen係1988年,Bob Dylan入選搖滾樂名人堂時介紹Bob Dylan,"The first time I heard Bob Dylan, I was in the car with my mother listening to WMCA, and on came that snare shot that sounded like somebody'd kicked open the door to your mind ... The way that Elvis freed your body, Dylan freed your mind, and showed us that because the music was physical did not mean it was anti-intellect. He had the vision and talent to make a pop song so that it contained the whole world. He invented a new way a pop singer could sound, broke through the limitations of what a recording could achieve, and he changed the face of rock'n'roll for ever and ever."

昨天,回程在火車上,看著那本在大阪三木樂器買回來的「Bass變強的100個貼士」。當中作者談起,他在學的時候,有一次聽到Sly & the Family Stone的歌,覺得喜歡便買了一張他們的唱片。之後聽到了"I wanna get you higher"及"Thank you",聽到完全不同bass彈奏方式,於是對Bass提起了興趣,而後來亦知道了那名Bass手叫Larry Graham,被公認為第一個使用Slapping同poping技術的Bass手。(這本書當然是日本文。內文除了兩首歌名,全都是日文。很明顯本人不懂看日文喇。那麼怎麼看得明?你唔好理)
在Dylan開始充滿迷幻味道的Like a rolling stone之前,有樂迷高呼"Judas!"(呢個樂迷既身份有點神秘,有兩個人被認為(自認)係呢個猶大呼叫者,分別叫John Cordwell同Keith Butler),當時係台上既Dylan一臉不肖(食左藥咁款),回應"I don't believe you...You're a liar",之後轉身對樂隊說"Play it fucking loud",之後在彈結他中途更舉手作出一個看起來像「There you go」的示意。
新港事件在I'm not there內亦有一個非常形象化的描述。
這兩件事件,觀眾有這個反應的起因都有不同的說法,但普遍都認為跟"Dylan went electric"有關。"Dylan went electric",今時今日看起來,不是一個民謠樂手的音樂取向轉變,而是一個流行音樂改朝換代的標誌性事件。
到底"Dylan went electric"是否一種背叛,事實都不太重要。但這個事件之中看到,樂迷原來也會有自己的想法,當樂手做出了他認為不對的事,他們不會盲目追從。他們是有思想,有判斷能力。
P.S. 點解係Tears In Heaven呢你問,其實呢支BB2004係Nathan East Signature Model果一條Line的,而Clapton大部份時間既Bass手都係Nathan East,包括係下面Clapton經典既MTV Unplugged Tears In Heaven演出,係Clapton左手面彈Acoustic Bass果個黑人就係Nathan East。睇唔到樣?係呀,所有學手都有過Close Up,係得佢冇,雖然Tears In Heaven有Bass Solo,鏡頭一樣迴避Bass手。
First, her laughters. She laughs like a witch but that's what I love to hear. It doesn't matter what's the sound. I can sense that when she is laughing, she is really laughing. She doesn't laugh for any social causes or nothing-is-more-appropriate-to-give-a-laugh-on-the-overwhelming-moment. She laughs because she wants to and that's the killing edge.
Second, she doesn't pretend she is good. I met a lot of girls who think they are good at anything but they really don't. Like, they would think they are pretty, but they are not. They think they are smart, wrong. They think putting out words that sounds technical means they are knowledgeable, very very wrong. and if you try to be honest and go to the fact, they get mad and being unreasonable. And I think it's pathetic. Some of them think they have arts sense, or they have taste on anything, and that's what make they more like self-overrated morons. She doesn't. She doesn't rate herself and she won't disagree what you rate on her. On that point, no one i have ever meet in my life could match her.
Third, she thinks. She always response with delay which you know she is working out on what you have just told her, even it's the most pointless or dirtiest joke you could ever talk to her. She is really listening to you. Yes, she is not that smart and doesn't think fast. But it's all about attitude. Having a person you like that she is so happy to think about what you say makes you feel so great. She makes you feel great!
And she has the sense of humor. When I say "the" sense of humor I mean the sense of humor which i really think it's the sense of humor. She doesn't make smart jokes, indeed, she is very good at stupid jokes. But she makes really lovely jokes, and I'm good at response to her jokes which is unexpected to her and makes her laugh. She really gets your jokes. Even it's not a very good one she can help you build it up and it turns out both of you laughing. Come on, I met so many girls think they are funny, pretends they have sense of humor and they know how to make fun of it. But they are not funny people at all. Their jokes are really something you would pay money so you don't have to listen to, because it's from a over-serious person who repeats a joke which is really cold as hell. really really terrible jokes.
Finally, she is so natural. On her looking, on her speaking, on her voice, on her dressing. She tries to look better and wear pretty outfit, she tries to add emotion on her speaking and voice. But those all suit her, and nothing over-dramatic, nothing really makes herself anxiety(but pretend cool and nothing special on her although you can see their real feeling from their face! god damn it pretentious girls!)
So this is a new year. from 2009 to 2010. "Happy new year". It's more like a wish which never fucking comes true to someone has been getting fucked for years. But from deep down of our hearts, we all know it's a wish would never come true. It just like, yesterday was 2009, today is 2010. What's all the shit gonna be changed from one day to another? if it's gonna change, why it's not from the second last day of 2009 to the very last day of 2009? If a day is too short, the same could apply to year indeed. Why not 2008 to 2009? Face it. When you have been getting fucked for years, it's very unlikely something is gonna change in 2010. And whatever will happen in 2012 doesn't bother you much. It's not about fate, it's about you. You are who you are and you are still the one you was.
