A single mother with two children, she demands that life ban Coke, no champagne, no rock music, no record players, no sexual innuendo, marijuana, drugs, and even commercialization. The eldest daughter is not allowed to fall in love early, can't put up posters of the band, try to let the younger son avoid his "adolescence", let him grow up in confinement, they live a Puritan life, in that crazy 1970.
Everything backfired, and the eldest daughter flew away to become a flight attendant in San Francisco, chewing gum and leaving behind a pile of records. If Mom had discovered the record first, it might have been different.
The younger brother opened it and looked at the note left by the elder sister "If a candle is lit while Tommy's song is playing, the world will be different". William Miller did, and he began to be William Miller, and he was reverently spinning around in this world of candles and music.
(Here I press pause, I expect the next two hours to be wonderful, I think the wonderful thing is that there are things I want to see and unexpected. Suddenly thinking about whether to pause and keep this film Watch it with Muzhi, I share my inner desires and intimacy fantasies)
William met the so-called best music critic in the universe, Old Jack, in a small town, and they discussed the names of those ghosts and snakes together. Independence, resistance, passion, and fanaticism are nothing compared to one word, cool. Back in 1973, he told William that rock and roll was the end of it and nobody could change it, all you can do is record the end of this great era and enjoy it.
William came to "Black Sabbath" to interview a second-rate band, still water. The so-called second-rate is freedom and pursues freedom. He has one or two hit songs of his own, and has a small number of his own fans. He can be manic on stage and ignore it. everything. Guitarist Russell, told William "It's not what's in the music, it's what it doesn't have", Something really matter. something real.
Here is a woman, Penny, typed in Chinese like "rebellious", she is like a puzzle, she seems to have countless connections with this circle, the woman in sunglasses on the cover is her. William is a silly boy. I was fascinated by such a rock queen.
William's interview was successful, as was his date with Penny, and his mother was very worried about him. He was only 15 years old, and seeing his baby kidnapped by a so-called rock star, there was nothing he could do. His stories were picked up by Rolling Stone, and he got the chance to interview them on a national tour. Old Jack reminded him not to treat them as real friends, and all kinds of tricks to drink and drug will only be used by them.
Penny is like this, William is like this, even Stillwater is like this, they are all being used by the mainstream of this business sweeping. The way they struggle is to have more crazy fun together.
Penny is so charming, "October won't be hot in California without you," Russell told her. For a second-rate rock band, alcohol, drugs, music, and indulgence are indispensable.
Their national tour is to travel to 74 cities on the bus, that's crazy. William wrapped up with them, affectionately called him "enemy", and had many opportunities to interview them, except for the drummer and bass, who were always rude, Frontman Hot Dog and Russell both have a desire to express themselves, and they're a pair that's always at odds. Infighting, strife, robbing women, and disliking each other are also common in second-rate bands. "Their anger is so easy to see, I love them," William recorded.
Regarding Penny, he has been silent, and he also believes that only a man like Russell can have such a glorious woman. Her eyes are breathtaking, Russell once said, "I can only see myself clearly through your eyes". Days and nights are always going to pass.
Later he ran away on tour.
Later, when we talked about cultural shirts, we fought infighting.
Then suddenly it burst into flames.
On this near-fame, their agent brought a private jet to New York without a place for Penny. The plane even started to spin out of control, and in another life-threatening accident, everyone cried and revealed their sincerity. "I like your dick" "I stole the band's money" "I've been looking at you for a long time" "I'm gay" "But I love you guys". . .
this is confession time. they closed each other.
William recorded everything and Russell said "write it as you like", but was denied by the band. The commercial era does not allow such disclosure, so it seems that everything is in vain.
He broke up with Penny at the airport, two awkward and kind people. At the same time, I meet my sister who is free and tired. They went home together, and they may each have become famous in unfamiliar fields, but they are also willing to return to the home that has nothing to do with the outside world.
William almost succeeded in Rolling Stone's cover music review, he failed, it was the failure of rock and roll, but his memory is still there, the instant inspiration he wrote on his hand, has been integrated into his heart, the car that carries a certain great Let's say goodbye to the road car of the second-rate band, that is the era of no more Pentium.
