总觉得开车长途旅行是一件很浪漫的事情，当然路上不免有艰难险阻，但是毕竟是比起
骑毛驴进京赶考的时代还是完全不一样了。特别是在美国呆长了，总觉得长途开车吗，
只要不上错高速公路，带上一个好的GPS，沿途总是有麦当劳和汽车旅馆的。我没有中
国的驾照，没有在中国开过车，更别提驾车长途旅行了，但是，总认为除了路况差点，
别的应该大同小异吧。全错！
上个星期拿到一本何伟的《Country Driving》，看看一个外国人在中国开车走遍全国
的经历，长了不少见识。
Country Driving
首先，这个何伟何许人也？他的英文名字是Peter Hessler，是《New Yorker》杂志驻
北京的常驻记者。最早接触到这个人的作品，还是在好几年前， |

发帖数: 4239 | 46 sorry我说得是狠了些，不过我必须要拍一下lz。而且是lz上来就攻击在先。
这不是我跟他审美内容不一样的问题，而是审美方法的问题。我也喜欢很多优美的民歌
的，我也听不进去rap和hiphop的，但是lz的音乐观我觉得有问题。古典音乐之所以能够
不衰，是因为它包含着可以超越时代和思想形态的东西。其他的，country music也好，
rock也好，民歌也好，都算是流行音乐，有自己的时代和环境特征，不同的时代，不同
的群体听不同的东西。country music是六七十年代最盛，音乐是变化中的，现在它不流
行了，就像现在我们不听样板戏了一样。如果你喜欢，也没问题，这是因为你生活在别
处，这是因为你个人的气场和审美和country music接近，但是不能因为这个而否定时代
的变化，以及别人的口味。美国人既不是傻子，也没那么低俗。
lz听了那么多“心旷神怡”的音乐，却不能够建立起包容的、非绝对化的审美观，看来
真是白听了。看来音乐对他来说只是所谓的悦耳，而且这种悦耳局限在柔和的旋律概念
上，却没有整个人身心荡漾进去，音乐只是茶余饭后放松的娱乐而已，这也没错，不过
一揽子攻击其他音乐风格就... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 20570 | 47 Folk music is probably more "country" than country music. Country music is a
more commercialized branch of folk music. Those big corporations spend a
lot of money in promoting the country stars, while folk singers are largely
unknown to many. In that sense, there are many black folk singers singing
rap, blues... which are all branches of folk music. Many very famous folk
songs have black roots. For example, the anthem of civil rights movement, we
shall overcome, is derived from an early black go... 阅读全帖 |

标 题: A small country might bully a bigger one
发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Mon May 2 14:49:50 2011, 美东)
A child who is a victim of frequent bullying usually lacks self-confidence
and has low self-esteem. Sometimes a child is bullied by a peer whose size
is much smaller. Parents and teachers need to educate both the victim and
the bully. This can be applicable to countries too. A small country might
bully a bigger one. For two countries at war, people ar... 阅读全帖 |

Take Me Home Country Roads 乡村路带我回家
就是这样快乐,一个怀乡者发自内心的快乐拍打着吉他的弦和共鸣箱,每一个重音都让人摇
头或拍手,在这样单一、热情的节奏中,让我们拥有最真实、平凡的感动。

Almost heaven
West Virginia
Blue rich mountains
Shenandoah River
Life is old there
older than the trees
younger than the mountains
growin' like a beeze
Ref.
Country Roads
take me home
to the place I belong
West Virginia
Mountain mama
take me home
my country roads
All my mem'rie |
