大家好啊! 我又来了 今天谈的也是个小旧闻 (上个月的新闻) 前阵子某个家伙出版了"John Lennon Letters Book" 收录蓝侬从1951~1980的私人信件 贾伯针对此事发表了一篇个人评论, 他认为伟大的人物或团体, 有其时空发展背景, 当时代改变後, 若还常高呼对这些家伙的缅怀或纪念 彷佛活在过去世代, 甚至研究探讨这些家伙说过的话, 写过的文章, 做过的事等个人隐私... 似乎要传达了解或吸收了这些精随甚至模仿他们,凡人的人生就会有所不同 贾伯认为孩子们拥有他们自己无限的未来, 他们应向前看 老一辈不需要将自己的喜好硬加诸在年轻世代上 过去的美好就让他留在过去吧!

'The John Lennon Letters', edited by Hunter Davies, is a collection of missives from the late Beatles’ songwriter, dating from between 1951 and 1980. Cocker questions the real value in these pop history artefacts, drawing attention to the fact that the source material was largely sourced from private collections; from people who have paid vast sums of money to own a piece of Lennon’s personal history and the former Pulp singer asks whether the books say more about the culture of collecting pop memorabilia than the words of the letters can ever say themselves. “I love the Beatles. I haven't named any kids after them but I still really love them,” says Cocker and he painfully recalls the way in which the ‘Britpop’ era was damaged by that very nostalgia that permeates collections such as this. “Wearing the same clothes and taking the same drugs will not make us into Beatles. It will make us fat and ill. And books like this (along with many others, I admit) are what make that mistake possible. The Beatles didn't know they were the Beatles. The Beatles didn't have a plan or a blueprint to follow. They followed their impulses and vague hunches and somehow left a legacy of 213 songs with scarcely a dud among them. That's all the information you need, really.” In essence, Cocker describes the hoarde of surviving Beatles fans as “the children of the echo” and suggests that we should all “get a life” and “move on,” rather than obsessing over trivia such as is contained herein. 另附上贾伯详细全文(蛮长的, 有兴趣的可以看看) http://ppt.cc/r4Of Title: The John Lennon Letters, edited by Hunter Davies - review 那大家慢慢看罗! 多多讨论喔! ps: 又到了简单生活节日子了, 4年前的美好时光现在想起来还是另人无法置信 --
