奥巴马,你丫逼是黑逼还是白逼?
意料之中,亦情理之中,第37期《wax poetics》奉出最棒的michael jackson纪念专题,光是封面封底两张mj的照片便足以让其余杂志(广而言之,媒体)闭嘴。
由scoop jackson执笔的悼文,含而不露。抛开video,dance,skin等词眼,以这句话起手:
take away everything and all we are left with is the voice.and this is everything with him begins.
第一句,便让人安心大半。
令人击掌的段落,比如:
what michael jackson was,was a true soul singer who sang pop music(通透).it sound and reads so simple,but it is what was at the core of his uniqueness.beautiful voice have found their way to the masses,to a public that used to use dick clark and now uses simon cowell as their judges of talent. whitney houston. mariah carey. celine dion.barba streisand.voice of angels. millions of records sold.but none true singers of soul.michael bolton.george michael.frank sinatra. freddie mercury.steve perry.josh groban .same thing.
but there's reason gladys knight,al green,anita baker,jackie wilson,chaka khan,russell thompkins,jill scott,rahsaan patterson wre/are trapped inside of a billboard/soundscan box to never reach a constant sales of quadruple-platinum.the game isn't set up for them to be accepted by a worldwhite——excuse me——worldwide audience(worldwhite,worldwide,这一【错笔】,妙不可言).it is impossible to sell a voice of soul to an often soulless society when it comes to what they look for in art(通透). it's the reason lil'wayne and snoop will alwanys be more popular than rakim.
最强最恩正的一笔,似边防战士手中的刺枪,从未有人提起:
and most importantly,after michael's death,we must not allow anyone to do his music what a large part of american society did to martin luther king:reduce his legacy to one moment.
michael was much more than just thriller.so much more.but to most of the world,that was his"I have a dream” speech.if we let "them" tell it,there were no the jacksons,no remakes of "stand“ or "ain't no sunshine" or"people make the world go round", dangerous never existed(there was a reason more songs from dangerous were performed at his memorial service than any of his albums; because
it spokes to his non-pop audience),no "you rock my world‘.
读到结尾处,已不能自持,眼镜上全是泪:
which brings us back to smokey robinson ,and the story he and berry gordy told at michael's memorial. yes, one of the greatest singers of all time(robinson) was out-sung by a child——to the point that he conceded. when a ten-year_old michael sang smokey's "who's loving you" in gordy's office,both men kenew that no one would believe them if they told them.they knew they had to preserve that voice.
so they decided to record it and share it with the rest of the world。
all they wanted was for us to have that same experience.
此篇悼文,应在Michael逝世一周年的纪念晚会上交由berry gordy,或janet jackson或stevie wonder或quincy jones来读。同时,有请FBI押送奥巴马同学至舞台旁罚站一整晚,悔过2009年对michael的大不敬大冷遇大漠视大回避。若悔过不深刻,交由朱军同学抽鞭。
