不从原来出发点考虑他说些什么了，起码反过来看是很励志的玩意儿。”But you know you only used to get juiced in it”，所以为了不成为the rolling stone，就耐住需要on our own的这个阶段吧，，”When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose”，现在正是”got nothing” but the future的时光。
Dylan所有歌曲的歌词打印了下来做成了小书，最简单清晰又最深沉的词，望Dylan所写永垂青史。
NEVER COMPROMISE
[How many roads must a man walk down,Before they call him a man]
[How many times can a man turn his head,And pretend that he just doesn’t see]
[The answer my friend is blowing in the wind. The answer is blowing in the wind]
这帮老顽童，MV怎么就那么sexy。人生最美好的事情莫过于到70岁了还能享受及延续半个世纪前的辉煌，最幸福的事情便是这个年头了当年的小伙伴们还在身边。到底doom and gloom在哪里我们就不讨论了，是感叹即将到来的“没有不散的宴席”么，还是吐槽社会的高内涵潜台词，这些都没有继续看这几个crazy的老家伙们唱歌来的有意义，有价值。

看过很多采访，很多传世经典曲目作曲就花了二三十分钟，甚至几分钟都有。但是作词都是数个小时数天的单位量。可见就音乐来说，创作都是很随意的，因为拿起吉他随意地拨动，可能就是一首歌的诞生了（每天所有精力去对待音乐，作曲演出两不误，如此怎么不出大神）（环境很重要）。而写歌词的压力相对大一些，ROCK本身是带有强烈感情的，很多情况下不仅仅是个人的，这也是引起社会共鸣的原因。而某个ROCK上升到社会问题的时代，歌词确确实实是重中之重。DAVID LEE ROTH – Rock music is high-gelocity folk music,It is our life and times, but with fury and some passion.
Dirty old river, must you keep rolling （古老的浊河，奔流向晚） Flowing into the night People so busy, makes me feel dizzy （匆忙的人群，使我眩晕） Taxi light shines so bright （出租车灯，亮如白昼） But I don’t need no friends （而我不需要朋友） As long as I gaze on waterloo sunset （我只要注视滑铁卢的余晖） I am in paradise （就仿佛沐浴天堂光辉）
搬运个采访的文章：Ray Davies: Waterloo Sunset was originally Liverpool Sunset(地址)
Jade Wright talks to music legend Ray Davies about his love affair with Liverpool
WHAT do you think of when you hear the immortal lines “As long as a I gaze on Waterloo sunset, I am in paradise”?
I’d always assumed it was Waterloo, London, and that the dirty old river was the Thames, but it turns out the answer lies much nearer to home.
“Liverpool is my favourite city, and the song was originally called Liverpool Sunset,” smiles its writer, Ray Davies. “I was inspired by Merseybeat. I’d fallen in love with Liverpool by that point. On every tour, that was the best reception. We played The Cavern, all those old places, and I couldn’t get enough of it.
“I had a load of mates in bands up there, and that sound – not The Beatles but Merseybeat(解释) – that was unbelievable. It used to inspire me every time.
“So I wrote Liverpool Sunset. Later it got changed to Waterloo Sunset, but there’s still that play on words with Waterloo.
“London was home, I’d grown up there, but I like to think I could be an adopted Scouser.(利物浦人) My heart is definitely there.”
