51-wXOoRhfL._SS500_.jpg

週六22:00-24:00及周一凌晨04:00-06:00 播出 (CST)。FM98.1 News98電台。大台北地區以外請利用線上收聽 www.news98.com.tw 點選「線上收聽」鏈結即可。亦可利用 hiChannel 收聽。 關於搖滾樂的搖滾曲(之二):Life on the road

「在路上」,搖滾歌手的生涯,並不見得總是跟歌迷幻想的一樣浪漫刺激,回首過去這些年,太多才華橫溢的青年人,難以承受搖滾樂手「在路上」excessive的生活方式,而紛紛變成了殉道者。今天的歌裡,AC/DC是以過來人的身份告訴你幻滅的真相,我們同場加映Lucinda Williams剛剛發行的翻唱版。至於Lucinda自己的歌,則是以特寫蒙太奇的方式,向她欣賞的Replacements團長Paul Westerberg致敬,同時寫下了搖滾樂不堪與不朽並存的實態。

Dr. Hook的Cover of the Rolling Stone則是繪本作家Shel Silverstein填的詞(記得Johnny Cash的"A Boy Named Sue"嗎?也是他的詞),把嬉皮世代裝模作樣的搖滾巨星好好地揶揄了一番,並且順便讓當時纔創刊五年的Rolling Stone雜誌坐穩了青年次文化代言者的寶座。仔細看看歌詞,三十六年過去了,事情好像沒怎麼變嘛。

It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'N' Roll)

Ridin' down the highway
Goin' to a show
Stop in all the by-ways
Playin' rock 'n' roll
Gettin' robbed
Gettin' stoned
Gettin' beat up
Broken boned
Gettin' had
Gettin' took
I tell you folks
It's harder than it looks

It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you think it's easy doin' one night stands
Try playin' in a rock roll band
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll

Hotel, motel
Make you wanna cry
Lady do the hard sell
Know the reason why
Gettin' old
Gettin' grey
Gettin' ripped off
Under-paid
Gettin' sold
Second hand
That's how it goes
Playin' in a band

It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you wanna be a star of stage and screen
Look out it's rough and mean
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll




Real Live Bleeding Fingers and Broken Guitar Strings

You've got a sense of humor
You're a mystery
I heard a rumor
You're making history

Photographic dialogues
Beneath your skin
Pornographic episodes
Screaming sin

'Til its real live bleeding fingers
Broken guitar strings

You are my Prince Charming
Draped in velvet robes
Of all that's alarming
Raw and exposed

Shattered nerves
Itchy skin
Dirty words
And heroin

Better real live bleeding fingers
Broken guitar strings

I climbed all the way inside
Your tragedy
I got behind
The majesty

Of the different shapes
In every note
The endless tapes
Of every word you wrote

With real live bleeding fingers
Broken guitar strings [2x]



Cover of the Rolling Stone

ah ha ha… I don't believe it... … hey Ray, hey Sugar, tell 'em who we are…)

Well, we big rock singers, we got golden fingers, and we're loved everywhere we go.
(That sounds like us)
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth at ten thousand dollars a show.
We take all kind of pills to give us all kind of thrills but the thrill we've never known
Is the thrill that'll getcha when you get your picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone.

Rolling Stone – wanna see my picture on the cover-
Stone- wanna buy 5 copies for my mother-
Stone- wanna see my smilin' face
on the cover of the Rolling Stone.
(That's a very good idea…)

I got a freaky old lady name a' Cocaine Kitty who embroiders on my jeans.
I got my poor old gray-haired daddy
drivin' my limousine.
Now it's all designed to blow our minds
but our minds won't really be blown
like the blow that'll getcha when you get your picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone.

Rolling Stone- wanna see our pictures on the cover-
Stone- wanna buy 5 copies for our mothers-
Stone- wanna see my smilin' face
on the cover of the Rolling Stone.

ROCK AND ROLL!
(Aw, that's just beautiful)

We got a lotta little teenage blue-eyed groupies
who do anything we say.
We got a genuine Indian guru
who's teachin' us a better way.
We got all the friends that money can buy
so we never have to be alone.
And we keep getting' richer but we can't get our picture
on the cover of the Rolling Stone

Rolling Stone- wanna see my picture on the cover-
Stone- wanna buy 5 copies for my mother-
Stone- wanna see my smilin' face on the cover of the Rolling Stone.

On the cover of the Rolling…
Wanna see my picture on the cover-
wanna buy 5 copies for my mother-
wanna see my smilin' face on the cover of the Rolling Stone.

(Man, I can see it now… there we are… on the front, smilin')
