气晕,刚写了一大篇丢了,重来:(((((((((((
今天刚买到一本纪念MJ的专辑。挺神。不是任何一家大媒体出版的。里面没有任何那些常见的喋喋不休的tabloid junk. 只是就事论事的讲MJ的音乐和慈善事业。
估计是MJ阵营的人反击了。虽然还是扭扭捏捏。
里面Paul McCartney的评语最逗:
---I feel priviledged to have hung out and worked with Michael. He was a massively talented boy man with a gentle soul. His music will be remembered forever and my memories of our time together will be happy ones.---
真的很佩服Paul. 能说出这样豁达公正的话来。怪不得人家是常青树。
我真的觉得MJ当年辣手买Beatles catalog 是个败笔。 他又不缺钱,不缺名气。那么aggressive的结果就是葬送了他和Paul的友谊不说,肯定还惹的一帮Beatles fan对他恨的咬牙切齿。Beatles fan 是些什么人啊。这些人都是资深的intellectual.把这帮人惹急了。 那还能有宣传你的好文章? 他哪怕跟Paul share 也好啊。
Paul 抚养Lennon和第一任妻子的儿子。把这样的朋友丢了。他不孤独谁孤独啊?
Quincy Jones纠集当时音乐界的大腕们把MJ的歌唱天赋发挥的淋漓尽致。结果呢,后面他和MJ也比较疏远了。
我今天看完这部专辑还是难过遗憾。他一直说you haven't seen nothing yet. 我想他脑子里一定有很多想法。虽然不一定是舞台表演。可惜就这么嘎然而止了!他处的时代和他的个性都导致了他早逝。 如果他有机会完成spiritual transformation, 能够最终grow from a boy man to a man该多好。
BUT, as fans, we are very lucky. Because there are so much left from him to be explored and appreciated.
I think, like Paul said, he is a massive talent. He played too much into the role of being a king. That's part of his downfall.
I like to think of him as Issac Newton or Azo Nobel in the show biz.
Unlike true africans from Africa, the african american in the US has a very mixed gene pool. To me, he is just American, period.
Who were his heros? Charles Chaplin & Walt Disney. Who were his idols? James Brown and Jackie Wilson.
Anyway, I am truly facinated and inspired. That is the power of a great creative genious!
