永遠的George Michael

(2008-06-11 17:26:58) 下一個
沉寂了好多年的George Michael要來聖何西演唱了,並聲稱這是他演藝生涯的絕唱。步入中年的我,居然舍不得花一百多塊去親臨現場,看來我和George就要這樣失之交臂了,不知道以後會不會後悔。

曾經的偶像啊!最迷George是上大學的時候,當時頗小資的我在流行音樂上絕對崇洋媚外,人帥聲靚的George是我的最愛,他的幾盤磁帶翻來覆去聽得幾乎卷帶,那時正是他的Faith剛發布不久,偶然看到的MV讓我心馳神往,鉛筆盒裏也貼著Wham的貼紙。當發現他曾經在85年訪問過北京時,我為錯過那絕好的機會捶胸頓足。據說,那兩個在全世界都能引起人群狂叫的帥哥在北京遭遇滑鐵盧,任他們怎樣費力的載歌載舞觀眾們始終沉默,隻在節目結束時禮貌的鼓掌。

到美國後認識了LG,一次說起流行音樂,我說我最愛George Michael,沒想到對方毫無妒意,反而大笑,說我們大學裏有個笑話,想要知道一個東西是否是正圓,要用GM的臀部來檢驗,我這才知道我鍾愛的偶像是個斷背,從小接受macho教育的美國男人對他是很不屑的。

其實我到今天都覺得他的聲音是所有歌星裏最好的之一,非常高亢嘹亮,可惜他的音樂才華始終不能走出他性感偶像的陰影。再後來他的新聞就多為負麵的了,先是和唱片公司打官司,指責對方隻捧Mariah Carey,後來鬧到了公園廁所被捉的醜聞。我一直不理解,有財有才有貌如他,身邊應該男人女人都不缺,怎麽回跑到公園裏上警察的鉤?看來真的高處不勝寒。

當初和我一起迷戀他的金發女友也當了母親,不知道她還記不記得我們半夜討論他哪個地方最性感。今夕何夕,我們都長大了。

記得有一次看過他的傳記,說他一直為自己的性取向困惑和痛苦,直到一個男友死於艾滋病,他才知道自己真的是愛男人。他說,It takes falling in love to know who you really are (原文大致如此)。希望他的後半生平安快樂。

貼幾首我最愛的歌


Last Christmas

Don't let the sun go down on me (with Elton John, my other favourite)

When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothing else
He'll trade the world
For the good thing he's found
If she's bad he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he put her down

When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Tryin' to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comfort
Sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way it ought to be

Well, this man loves a woman
I gave you everything I had
Tryin' to hold on to your precious love
Baby, please don't treat me bad

When a man loves a woman
Down deep in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she plays him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Lovin' eyes can't ever see

When a man loves a woman
He can do no wrong
He can never own some other girl
Yes when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're my world

When a man loves a woman.....
