       第一次发帖子，选了我感兴趣的应该不曾出现过的关于音乐关于摇滚的文章，给大家换换口味，也希望大家能够接受。
      文章是去年的，算是一篇比较特别的纪念列侬的文字，作者想象如果没有1980年12月的枪击，如果列侬还在，他会和他的爱人、子女、朋友过着怎样的生活。
      the beatles和john lennon应该大家都知道吧~如果不知道就去听下hey jude，yesterday，let it be三首最有名的，以及列侬的imagine，非常喜欢里面的歌词：You may say I'm a dreamer,but I'm not the only one,老掉牙，但是经典依旧！
      

Imagine There Was No Shooting -- John Lennon at 70: Mark Beech

By Mark Beech - Dec 8, 2010 8:00 AM GMT+0800   (bloomberg)

Imagine there was no shooting. It’s easy if you try. No Mark Chapman. Only John, a bitter old guy.

You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m certainly not the only one: Lennon fans today face the 30th anniversary of his death. Based on what we know from his short life, we can guess what the ex-Beatle might have done, what causes he would have embraced, what songs he would have written. My guess is that he would be a cranky 70-year-old, a not-so-English eccentric, ridiculed by many, still venerated by fans.

Not that the creative outlook was so good in 1981. Rock is best born out of youthful passion and pain (in Lennon’s case, “God” and “Help!”). He died a middle-aged millionaire, mellowed by domestic bliss and extended vacations. On the sugary “Double Fantasy” LP, he told his son Sean “I can hardly wait to see you come of age,” a line now heavy with irony -- at the time just cringe-worthy.

The best hope is that some headline or another would have shaken Lennon’s complacency and fueled feverish bursts of music. He was best when grumpy and outspoken. I suspect John would have overcome technophobia to deliver his message fast: streaming tracks, blogging and Twittering.

Most enticing was the prospect of a Beatles reunion. Paul McCartney, carrying a guitar, showed up at the Dakota during Lennon’s “househusband” years and was turned away. John was baking bread and looking after the baby. Still, it’s easy to see the “estranged fiances” joining again for a good cause.

Lennon always erratically pleased himself and didn’t care what others thought. I think he’d have got more into vegetarian and macrobiotic food (with lapses for fish and chips and Brandy Alexanders) and hobbies (sailing, Beatles memorabilia). He’d probably have written more books, loved Nirvana for its uncompromising attack and attacked Oasis as copycats. Here’s what might have happened.

Dec. 8, 1980: Lennon returns to the Dakota. He decides to call his older son -- John had just said in an interview he was sorry to have missed out on the boy’s growing up. He promises Julian a motorbike for Christmas. After a long chat, it’s late: the Lennons stay in for a TV dinner.

1984: Lennon gleefully joins Bob Geldof’s Band Aid.

1985: The Beatles reunite to sing “Across the Universe” at Live Aid. In subsequent years, Lennon plays with U2 and Bob Dylan at the Live 8 and Live Earth concerts, then declares he’s “bored with the whole charity thing.”

1986: Lennon re-records “Give Peace a Chance” and attacks Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and yuppies. He starts campaigning for Nelson Mandela’s release.

British Tea
1991: While Lennon’s accent is now trans-Atlantic, he misses “things like British tea.” He buys a house in London, though spends more time in the U.S. and Bermuda.

1995: McCartney asks for Lennon’s help with a Beatles compilation. The band jams at George Harrison’s studio until Ringo Starr falls asleep and the others argue. The project is shelved.

1997: McCartney is knighted. Lennon says “Once I’d have been disgusted. Now, if it makes him happy, that’s cool.”

2001: Lennon completes the unfinished Beatles reunion album with Phil Spector. After Harrison dies, it’s released as a tribute under the title “Free as a Bird.”

2003: Lennon gets his 15th honorary doctorate and releases his 20th CD, “Crosspatch,” a plea for the environment.

2008: Lennon campaigns for the election of Barack Obama, “my chum.” Wearing a fedora over thinning gray hair, he sings “Imagine” at the 2009 inauguration. The relationship is later strained when Lennon demands free organic food for the homeless.

2009: The Lennon-Ono marriage, which he says could have ended in tears, marks its 40th anniversary with a new version of his song “Grow Old With Me,” now a standard at weddings.

Today, Dec. 8, 2010: An ordinary day in the Lennon household. Julian calls his dad to say that it was exactly three decades ago they were reconciled: He has cherished the motorbike and wants to sell it for a charity run by Bono. Lennon gives his blessing and decides to head for the studio.

支持一下，大二的时候一段很喜欢他的歌曲，你说的imagine ,还有 love ,很经典。这里把imagine贴出来，和大家分享。

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world.

Nice ariticle to memorize the Beatles. However, it is also a challenge for me to award "the Best" for today's comment. Anyway, who of you could relate music to finance or economy would get the title of "The Best" for today. Real finance people could think about his portfolio even when they are hooking girls up. Money never sleep, my mates!

missing forever....《yesterday>, my love song.


Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
昨日,所有烦忧已逝去
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
今日却有重回Oh,
I believe in yesterday.
喔, 我宁回昨日
Suddenly, There's a shadow hanging over me.
突然间 我迷失了自己
I'm not half the man I used to be,
被阴影笼罩
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
喔,昨日似又重回我身边
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say.
她为何离我而去,我知道她会说分手
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
我说错了话,我真的渴望昨日
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
昨日,爱情简单纯真
Now I need a place to hide away.
现在,我却想逃开
Oh, I believe in yesterday
.喔,我宁回昨日
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say.
她为何离我而去,我知道她会说分手
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
我说错了话,我真的渴望昨日
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
昨日,爱情简单纯真
Now I need a place to hide away.
现在,我却想逃开
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
喔,我宁会昨日
Mm mm mm mm mm.
嗯.......
