「我跟妻子都需要錢因為家中有四個嗷嗷待哺的孩子，還有一個即將出世啊」這無奈的故事，出自Bon Jovi的Right Side Of Wrong歌詞。這首歌描述主角因為生活壓力不得已鋌而走險，但夢想與現實總是有差距的，以為的周密計畫最後卻換來悲劇的下場。據說歌曲的靈感來自於電影「虎豹小霸王」，因為歌詞出現了「just like Butch and Sundance」，這就是指Butch Cassidy和Sundance Kid，也就是虎豹小霸王的片名和劇中主角。劇中兩位大盜不搶就渾身不對勁，但是Right Side Of Wrong述說的卻是無奈的拼搏。即使背景不同，最終結局卻是一樣。就算配戴著保佑平安的聖徒聖克里斯多福項鍊又怎樣？在警方「手舉高」的包圍火力下，畫面和歌曲永遠地停格住了。就連MV也是，急速滾動的車輪，留給觀眾無限的想像。 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkwydEQUeGo

這就是Bon Jovi啊！在我心裡，Bon Jovi = Cowboy。就算他們出道於那個Hair Metal當道、同質團體多到數不清的的浮華80年代，但我覺得，他們是最「牛仔」的80重搖滾樂團。那張經典的「New Jersey」和Jon的個人專輯「Blaze Of Glory」，可以說讓Bon Jovi成為最佳的重搖滾派牛仔代言人。牛仔總給人豪邁不羇、多情卻不濫情的浪子（不是像Jimmy Cagney那樣的硬漢喔）形象， http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Cagney 這似乎又與Bon Jovi很符合吼… 他們算是壞孩子中的好孩子（那年頭搞搖滾有太多壞胚子了），徘徊於「Right Side Of Wrong」… 雖然這首歌年代不會很久遠（出自2002年的Bounce專輯），但是卻是近期我很喜歡的一首老邦的歌。畢竟牛仔是他們的老路，他們最擅長寫的也是牛仔。 David Bryan那keyboard的前尾奏，實在是好聽的一蹋糊塗… 小時候我很討厭鍵琴樂器出現在搖滾樂中，但是Bon Jovi音樂卻不能沒有他的琴音！在這Bon Jovi改走成人抒情路線的年頭， Richie懶得獻技， Jon又敵不過歲月摧殘聲帶（和臉蛋），我們還剩什麼？呵呵（大誤）… 何況這十年內他們的好歌又屈指可數… 我是很希望他們來台能表演這首歌啦，當然機率偏低… A friend of a friend needs a favor No questions asked, there’s not much more to say Me and the wife, we need the money We’ve got four kids all hungry, one on the way Slip these sweat socks in your shirt and pray they think your packin’ Be sure to keep your head down, don’t look ‘em in the eye And don’t get fancy, Ricky, we ain’t Jimmy Cagney Look at me, let’s do the job and let’s get home tonight I got a half tank of gas and if we run all the lights We’ll slip across the border on the wrong side of right And just like Butch and Sundance we’ll ride until the dawn Sipping whiskey, singing cowboy songs On the Right Side of Wrong We picked a helluva night, from the shore I see the skyline In a couple of hours from now Rick, we’re gonna get out of this life We’ll stop for smokes, I brought a six pack, we’ll stop at lookers on the way back Hell, we’ll laugh this off, keep your fingers crossed that all goes well tonight We’ll make the grade, they’ll know our names, I need a friend to drive here Wear my necklace of St. Christopher and talk to him while I go inside I’ll take that suitcase, get the cash and we’ll be gone before you know Wait until we tell the girls we’re moving down to the Gulf of Mexico… A friend of a friend needed a favor Life was just what happened while we were busy making plans We never saw nothing, there was a run-in .9 millimeter steel was coming for the windshield of that Oldsmobile As the cop said, “Show your hands!” -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.45.177.174
