Velvet Gold Mine - Rock and Roll Doomed to Tragedy

I feel more and more that rock and roll is a natural tragedy, I may have lost some courage when I get older, and I have lost some of my edge in life. I have gradually moved away from the circle I once wanted to enter. I feel more and more that today's rock and roll is like a comedy with a clown mask

. Ask me what rock is. I have asked other people this question. They told me that rock is an attitude to life. Now what comes to my mind is sexual violence, anger, neuroticism, FUCK EVERYTHING & ANYTHING

. Dissatisfaction is the source of rock and roll. The meaning of rules and morality is that I will break people's attention. It is my best reward.

Rock is always a niche, not recognized by most people, and supported by niche people. Concerned about poverty and distress, but eager to be SUPER ROCK STAR, but they are afraid of being understood by the public, afraid of becoming a member of the mediocre mainstream, so they are alarmist, they are shocking to advertise themselves as different to realize the meaning of their existence It 's a foreshadowing of tragedy,

so I'll never agree that rock is pure music. It's impossible to be calm and quiet, and so on. That's not what rock wants. Rock is life. There's no shortage of wise men in the show

rock team. These people have become more self-conscious and truly ignore worldly eyes. They've begun to see the world speculatively. Like the Beatles, like Pink Floyd, like the PATTI SMITH I love, even if they are still They have a rock-sensitive heart, but it means they're old. Rock doesn't contain maturity. It can only be said that they've gone beyond the meaning of rock.

Rock needs worship and tolerance, but what they need is not to be understood, to be isolated, to be hated. They have good reason to roar and rage, and when they realize their dreams, stand on a stage cheered by thousands of people, have wealth and status, enjoy it a second before, and lose their talent to survive after a second Oxygen or become a son of a bitch pseudo-worldly sycophant

And I was born in this age where the world is rocking In this age where everyone listens to Linkin Park and thinks Avril is punk

I can only say that rock is dead

I can only say that rock and roll was doomed to be a tragedy
