剛查了一下,這首歌其實是cover Patti Smith的歌。
粗略用google查了一下,剛好有篇文章有提到
http://www.stp.uh.edu/vol69/123/arts/arts1.html
節錄重點:
Patti Smith
Yes, this is the best known example. Smith ingested as much Jagger and
Morrison (not a poet, folks) as Rimbaud and began having guitarist Lenny Kaye
accompany her during readings. Eventually, a band was formed and a one-two
knockout of albums emerged. Horses, which receives the most critical acclaim,
perfectly fuses Smith's poetic rants into the songs. On certain songs, such
as "Land," the words will fire from her lips building and building until the
band explodes in and the song moves to another level of intensity.
Easter, the group's second album,features the controversial "Rock 'n' Roll
Nigger" that readily employs the artistic notion that nothing is sacred.
Smith starts off with a fierce free verse diatribe on her identity and
liberation as an artist. Within the song, certain poetic constants are used,
with the poet challenging common notions of language and social mores.
我想主題應該是紅色那句,因為歌詞中提到耶穌跟祖母都是黑人,
baby was a black sheep, baby was a whore.等
sheep在基督教跟上帝形象等同(代罪羊),而在此它以黑色來指這羊,
但又說這隻羊是個妓女,後面又提到耶穌是黑人,
若將整個串連起來十分有趣,黑羊=妓女=耶穌=黑人
整個推翻白人系統的觀念。將他們認為神聖的東西整個反轉。
曼森翻唱多加了第一段歌詞關於antiChrist,
我想也許跟他本身反基督的概念剛好相合,於是取這歌翻唱改編。
當然我這樣詮釋局部的部分並不十分準確,知道的人請多補充。
不過我想若你有興趣,可以多多查詢Patti Smith的相關資訊,畢竟是她寫的。
至於為何是rock 'n' roll nigger,不知道是不是跟搖滾樂其實起源於黑人有關?
