TRIUMPH

I am going to feel the sun
I am going to be number one
on this run
to feel the sun
I am going to be number one

I am going to feel the wind
I am not going to be extinct
on this stint
to feel the wind
I am going to feel the wind

I am going to feel the rain
I am going to feel it again
and again
I am going to feel the rain

I am going to feel my life
I am going to feel my wife
like Lou Reed
I am going to feel my life
I am going to be rife

I am going to go to sleep
I am going to go to sleep
in a heap
It will be steep
I am going to go to sleep

BRITAIN AFTER THE VOTE

recently britain
had a big vote.
the vote was about remaining or leaving.
the government thought
most people would vote
to remain in britain.
but most people didn’t.
the leave britain campaign
was victorious.
now there are not many people
in britain.

悼大衛鮑伊

惦記他
故他在
记得9/11以後
他在紐约唱保羅西蒙的歌
America
惦記盧·里德
兩三年前聽他的現場
惦記臺灣老朋友
廖瑞銘臺灣語教授
记得88年在臺灣買崔健的卡带
惦記傳聲頭像
AC-DC 酒吧
平克·弗洛伊德
寫在BUFFALO TOWN 天花板
惦記臺灣摇滚
以及所有抵抗强暴的聲音

星期六七月26号去了鲍勃.迪伦现场 – Bob Dylan concert 在 Wiesen, 奥地利 Austria.
Rather good. Full raspy voice. Lots of ambivalence in the songs. Experimenting with old songs, making it new.
Songs from the albums TIME OUT OF MIND, WORLD GONE WRONG, BLOOD ON THE TRACKS and others. “Love Sick” was the last song. Very, very good. Before that, a new version of Blowin’ in the Wind.
Dylan was rather like Cui Jian 崔健 when he’s good – new songs every time, all of it – especially the classics.
Dylan mostly played piano. Good band. Each song a surprise. We saw Lou Reed two years ago. Also very good. Experimental, still.
That was the last chance I would get to experience Lou Reed live. He was himself, as far as I could tell. They also had what was left of The Doors – still with Ray Manzarek – and Ian Anderson and others. Doors trying to sound like on the records. Oh well. Ian Anderson coherent for one song only. Sad. Lou Reed strong. Like Dylan this time.
