今天每日一歌由豆瓣音乐 x 杜绍斐联名奉上
「垮掉派 - Beat Generation」与摇滚乐之间的联络总是千丝万缕,理不清道不明。就说「艾伦・金斯堡 - Allen Ginsberg」吧,许多摇滚乐迷其实并没有读过他的诗,可是「我看见这一代最出色的脑筋毁于张狂」仍是能够张口就来。
1955 年,艾伦・金斯堡在旧金山的一次诗篇朗诵会宣布的「嚎叫」一诗,与其说是有板有眼的「郎读」,不如说是手舞足蹈的「嘶喊」,这种现场的魅力,和后世的摇滚乐现场有着殊途同归之处。后来,艾伦・金斯堡出书了许多的诗篇朗诵专辑,他的朗诵会和摇滚乐表演相同火爆。有着许多重复段的「嚎叫 脚注」更是被许多摇滚人直接拿来当作歌词,比方 Patti Smith。
许多六七十年代的摇滚乐纪录片里都会呈现艾伦・金斯堡的身影。不过少有人知的是,他其实出书过一些真真实正的「歌曲」专辑呢。
1982 年,一套名为「First Blues」的双唱片出书,其间收录了艾伦的 24 首歌曲(前年的再版又增加了 11 首)。它们和艾伦的诗有着相同的主题:关于游览,关于越战,关于 CIA,关于死去的父亲,关于冥想与入定…
这些歌谣布鲁斯风格的歌曲展示了「诗」与「歌」真实的同源性。配器很繁芜,演奏又很简单,一群人闹闹哄哄的。至于艾伦在里面究竟算是「念」仍是「唱」,这就见仁见智了——横竖最会歌唱的人歌唱都没调。
对,说的就是鲍勃・迪伦。在「First Blues」里,他参与了三首歌的吉他演奏与合声,包含这首「Vomit Express - 吐逆之旅」。
起初是鲍勃参与一次朗诵会,见到艾伦和他的爱人 Peter Orlovsky 在乐手的配乐下即兴念诗。然后他访问艾伦的公寓,几个人一起 Jam,艾伦开端了这次「吐逆之旅」——关于一次波多黎各的飞机惊骇体会。Jam 完鲍勃提议,「咱们找个当地录一下吧!」
一周今后他们进棚了。
这是 1971 年的工作。鲍勃・迪伦早年间的歌曲从艾伦的诗篇技巧中偷师不少(比方最有名的「大雨将至」),是时分报答一下了。又过了几年,鲍勃・迪伦叫上了一大帮乐手,弄了两次吉普赛人似的美国巡演(Rolling Thunder Revue,滚雷巡回)。艾伦・金斯堡也受邀参与了巡演,他们俩一起访问了杰克・凯鲁亚克的墓…啊,这已经是另一个故事了。
Im going down to Puerto Rico
Im going down on the midnight plane
Im going down on the Vomit Express
Im going down with my suitcase pain.
You can take an ancient vacation
fly over Floridas deep-blue end
rise up out of this mad-house nation
Im going down with my oldest tender friend
We know each other now twenty years,
seen murders, and we wept tears
Now were gonna take ourselves a little bit of free time
Wandering round the southern poverty clime
Start flyin with all the poor, old, sick ladies
Everybody [ in the plane ] [ drowded ] and drunk, and theyre crazy
Flyin home to die in the wobbly air
All night long, they wanted the cheapest fare.
Im going down on the old midnight plane
When were down on the air field, Ive never been there,
Except once walkin around the air field in the great, wet heat,
Walk out, smell that old mother-load of shit from the tropics
Stomach growl [ love ] , oh friends, beware.
Me and my friend, no we wont even drink,
And I wont eat meat, I wont fuck around
Gonna walk the streets alone, [ cars ] will blink and wink
Taxis, buses and US gas all around.
Start [ read ] poetry at the university, meet kids,
look at their breasts, touch their hands, kiss their heads
seen from the heart, maybe the four buddhist normal truths
"Existence is suffering", it ends when youre dead --
Go out, walk up on the mountain, see the green rain
imagine that forest, finds, get lost,
sit cross-legged and meditate on old love pain,
watch every old love turn to gold.
See raindrops and the jungle rainbow, dancin men;
brown legs walk around on the mud road
far from US smog, war, again
Sit down, empty mind, vomit my holy load
Come back to earth, walk the streets in shock
Smoke some grass and eat me some cock
kiss the mouth of the sweetest boy I can see
who shows me his white teeth and brown skin joy
Go find my old friend, well go to the museum,
talk bout politics with the cats, and ask for revolution,
get back on the plane and chant high in the sky
Back to earth, to New York garbage streets and fly
Im gonna come back with frighteneds in the hot
at New Yorks electrical eternity here
pull the air-conditioner plug from the wall
sit down with my straight spine and pray
