A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
岩石
Rock
I'm not a rock singer and I don't want to be a rock singer. I'm not interested. It doesn't seem to get across.
我不是摇滚歌手,我也不想成为摇滚歌手。我不感兴趣。好像没人能理解。
Rock Band is more like Stairmaster than it is like rock 'n' roll - it's the same steps with different degrees of difficulty.
摇滚乐队更像楼梯管理员而不是摇滚-这是相同的步骤,不同的难度。
There's a hell of a lot of freedom in this rock and roll circus... it's where all the freaks go - it's the environment for me.
在这个摇滚马戏团里有很多自由……这是所有怪胎去的地方——这是我的环境。

I wish I could tell you me and my rock band were traveling around, strung out. No, we were a family band. Straight Partridge Family.
我希望我能告诉你,我和我的摇滚乐队当时正在四处旅行,精神紧张。不,我们是一个家庭乐队。直鹧鸪的家庭。
If anyone asks you what kind of music you play, tell him 'pop.' Don't tell him 'rock'n'roll' or they won't even let you in the hotel.

If you truly dig what you are doing, if you lay it out that way, nobody can not respond. That's what rock and roll is; it's relentless.
如果你真正地挖掘你正在做的事情,如果你把它摆出来,没有人会不回应。这就是摇滚乐;这是残酷的。
Everybody has forgotten about showmanship. People don't look like rock stars any more. They just look like regular dudes off the street.

The game Rock Band has been haunting me like a bad ring tone. It gets stuck in my head and momentarily effaces all that I love about music.

Rock and menopause do not mix. It is not good, it sucks and every day I fight it to the death, or, at the very least, not let it take me over.
岩石和更年期不会混合。它不好,它糟透了,每天我都和它战斗到死,或者,至少,不让它占据我的生活。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Rock is about finding who you are. You don't necessarily have to play your instrument very well at all. You can just barely get by and you can be in a rock band.
