Chapter 2 "Taipei Red Rose"

——Preface from generation to generation When writing this book, I was listening to "Taipei Red Rose". I have a very complete collection, the complete works of Luo Dayou.At one time, I liked Chen Shuhua the most among Chinese female singers, and Luo Dayou among the male singers.Of course, I also liked Wang Jie, Sun Nan, and Andy Lau who lived a long life. At one time, Luo Dayou’s collection was annihilated in the MP3 library that could fill many CDs. I also told people about Luo Dayou’s works Good and bad are mixed, and the best ones are just a few songs such as "Your Look".

But a certain kind of man's enthusiasm is really immortal. When I opened the previous hard disk box and listened to Luo Dayou's old songs again, I fell in love with this man's jeans, guitar and sunglasses again.So much desperation and hesitation are entangled together, like the earthbound spirit wandering and roaring wantonly in the streets with anger, but no one hears its voice when people come and go. old song?There is a kind of thing that will not fade with time, such as "Taipei Red Rose", which was released in November 1994. I had never heard of it at that time, but I didn't like it when I heard it when I was in college.And after more than ten years, when the era and mood of creating this song are gone forever, and Luo Dayou himself has just earned 10 million NT dollars from real estate speculation in Taiwan, when I heard this song, I was still fascinated by it. The unchanging blade inside hits.This is a broken knife, but it can still cut the skin cruelly.

He was stunned in an instant, and the hoarse voice lingered for three days, as if in a dream. So this man's song is a kind of challenge, it is best not to despise him when you don't like it, lest in the future you will suddenly feel a certain old song of his vibrating strongly in the hard disk box, connected with your soul, and you will regret it The stupidity of the year. This man is called the godfather because he put his spirit into the melting pot of religion and tempered it over and over again, right?Often go back and listen to those episodes with a strong Sicilian flavor, and then can't help humming all day long.

So I understood the persistence of those Italians, who lived in dark corners, could cut off the enemy's thighs cruelly, but were loyal to their family and blood.In such a world, besides the blood of the same Sicilians, how much can we trust and rely on?So even those who yearn for a peaceful life can only choose sugar, and bow their heads to offer salt and bread to the godfather. I heard an unreliable rumor before about the Chinese mafia in Los Angeles.The Chinese in the United States have a strange reverence when they talk about these people. An old Chinese said to me: Once the Chinese mafia wanted to compete with their opponents for territory in Los Angeles, so a "brother" in Canada brought a whole The Raymington shotgun in the trunk drove from Canada to Los Angeles, passed the border and continued southward at the risk of going to prison. He kept smoking to support his spirit, and he struggled for nearly 48 hours before arriving at his destination. Finally, "Brothers" Carrying the gun he sent, he rushed to the battlefield that was far from "justice".

Recently I was in a low mood, so I listened to Luo Dayou's song and finished writing. It is impossible to describe the mood when I wrote this story. It was like seeing a group of gorgeous men standing under the black altar. They held guns and pulled the trigger on the people in front of them one by one. I pictured Nathan Mann holding out his hand in absolute darkness. He couldn't see his own hand, but he could see the blood running down it. Is that probably the oath of the Lorenz Men Gang?Whether it is Nathan Mann who became a man of power, or Peng Borji as a dictator and hero, and those who died in the gunshots of Fernance, they can go to the peak of power alone or with their own The bones of your teammates are the stepping stones of your teammates, but don't bow your head, and don't die or live cowardly and humblely.

It's a life that exhausts all of its strength. "Taipei Red Rose" is really an old song that can step Pang Long's "Two Butterflies" all the way to the depths of hell, although it has the same strong fireworks. My MP3 library still has the comments collected back then. When talking about this song, the commenter said: ""Taipei Red Rose" is Luo Dayou's first love song with such an enchanting style in many years. It is placed in many works with serious expressions. In the middle, it looks particularly eye-catching." Luo Dayou sang in his earphones with his broken voice:

Happy, caring, sincere, heart-changing, success or failure is unknown thanks to you who incarnate as the savior in your life, you have already prepared Who is happy, sad, infatuated, heartbroken, love and hate intertwined Thank you for being a confidant in your life and being a companion for me Is it really enchanting?Is it really a love song?Although everyone is commenting on Luo Dayou in their hearts, isn't this deviation too big?Big enough to make you want to laugh out loud. Where is he showing favor to his lover?He's saying he has no way out.This man's style of music has been changing all his life, always moving forward and forward again. I don't know if there is another singer like him. Maybe he can't stay the same, because there is no way out. .

This is a man destined to be lonely, and he doesn't care that his life will become so sad, he will sing the most beautiful things in the storm that have become memories forever, or he will pretend to be smart in his black suit Insert a coquettish rose, or he puts on sunglasses and a headscarf, and looks at you with squinting eyes. eyes?Can you really see the eyes of this man? This is a soul that is tied to a cross with a wire. When you approach him, he looks up at you, his eyes roll in their sockets, like two shriveled peaches, but he can still say in his hoarse voice: " I'm not dead yet."
