第1694期:摇滚不再的年代

前天(May 24, 2023),摇滚女王(Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll) Tina Turner 去世了,享寿83岁。

这则新闻颇令我感慨了一阵子,想起曾经白衣翩翩的大学时代。

摇滚乐曾是1990年代大学的标配,那时很多男生宿舍终年大开着窗,每天午饭时段从很多窗户里传来震耳欲聋的rock’n’roll. 那时候还不像今天这么封闭,那时候的人们也还没现在这么娇气和敏感,什么类型的摇滚都有人喜欢,很多窗口放着不同乐队的歌。端着饭盆沿着食堂旁边那一排男生宿舍走,用不着你换台,一个窗口一个频道,热烈极了。站在今天回望,我愈发觉得那时候就该听rock,除了摇滚,任何其他音乐类型都不匹配。

如果你不喜欢摇滚乐,没关系,反正现在也没有了。如果你还没听过Tina Turner,可以试着听几首她的经典。

It’s Gonna Work Out Fine

River Deep – Mountain High

Proud Mary

这几首是她和前夫早期的金曲。

接下去,推荐你听她1984年的经典单曲”What’s Love Got to Do with It“,获当年格莱美年度大奖。

如果这四首你能听得进去觉得对你的胃口,接下去还可以尝试:

Better Be Good to Me

Private Dancer

Typical Male

The Best

I Don’t Wanna Fight

GoldenEye

摇滚乐如今早已没了,死了,不必要了。人们不再需要愤怒和思考,不再擅长讽刺和自嘲,不在了,不再了,就这样吧。

其实那时候也不是万事皆摇滚,刚从理想主义激情岁月的幻灭中转身走出来的人们,心中有摇滚的呐喊与纯情的想象共存,那才是那个年代最美好的一个视角。那些年与摇滚并行不悖的还有一类歌曲,我现在一闭上眼睛脑海里就响起“冬季到台北来看雨”、“月亮的脸偷偷地在改~变~”……啊,孟庭苇。当然,还有高晓松为代表的校园民谣。那个羞答答的年代哦,如今想来仿佛传说。

你看,写着写着就跑题了, 年纪大了,动不动就怀旧,sorry for the digression.

最后,再一起听首Tina Turner的歌吧。

附:

What’s Love Got to Do with It

( – Tina Turner)

You must understand how the touch of your hand

Makes my pulse react

That it’s only the thrill of boy meetin’ girl

Opposites attract

It’s physical

Only logical

You must try to ignore that it means more than that

What’s love got to do  got to do with it

What’s love but a second hand emotion

What’s love got to do  got to do with it

Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

It may seem to you that I’m acting confused

When you’re close to me

If I tend to look dazed I’ve read it someplace

I’ve got cause to be

There’s a name for it

There’s a phrase that fits

But whatever the reason you do it for me

What’s love got to do  got to do with it

What’s love but a second hand emotion

What’s love got to do  got to do with it

Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

I’ve been takin’ on a new direction

But I have to say

I’ve been thinkin’ about my own protection

It scares me to feel this way

What’s love got to do  got to do with it

What’s love but a second hand emotion

What’s love got to do  got to do with it

Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

Got to do  got to do with it

What’s love but a sweet old fashioned notion

What’s love got to do  got to do with it

Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

Huh  got to do with it

What’s love got to do  got to do with it

Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

What’s love

Got to do it

Got to do it

What’s love
