直道相思了无益 未妨惆怅是清狂

A few random quotes and thoughts

From "The girl with the dragon tattoo"
"It's funny that people have a greater fear of offending others than the fear of pain." - Martin

From "Carlos Kleiber - I am lost to the world"
Something like, "People always expect geniuses to be like a good neighbor, We need them to be passionate and exceptional, but at the same time require them to behave honestly in their private life, that's unbelievable!"

Carlos Kleiber was a ladies man, a "playboy" if you would, yet he stayed married for 50 years. He died 7 months after his wife, Stanislava died.

From something on NPR
"People don't "Boo" nobodies." Reminds me the time that I really should have "Booed" Lang Lang when butchered Prokofiev.

Attending a JuicePlus+ information session
"7 to 13 servings of raw fruits and vegetables per day is recommended"

"Lei Feng" is manufactured idealistic image by state government, it is no different from any other manufactured idols through out history.

蔡旻佑 sings Nobody Does It Better

He is very talented

Martha - Tom Waits (cover)

My poor attempt on this cover.

Chocolate Jesus - Tom Waits

Don't go to church on Sunday
Don't get on my knees to pray
Don't memorize the books of the Bible
I got my own special way
Bit I know Jesus loves me
Maybe just a little bit more

I fall on my knees every Sunday
At Zerelda Lee's candy store

Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied

Well I don't want no Abba Zabba
Don't want no Almond Joy
There ain't nothing better
Suitable for this boy
Well it's the only thing
That can pick me up
Better than a cup of gold
See only a chocolate Jesus
Can satisfy my soul

[Solo]
When the weather gets rough
And it's whiskey in the shade
It's best to wrap your savior
Up in cellophane
He flows like the big muddy
But that's ok
Pour him over ice cream
For a nice parfait

Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Good enough for me
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Good enough for me

Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel so good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied

Devil Got My Woman

Dim the lights and spin that old record.



by Skip James

I'd rather be the devil, to be that woman man
I'd rather be the devil, to be that woman man
Aw, nothin' but the devil, changed my baby's mind
Was nothin' but the devil, changed my baby's mind
I laid down last night, laid down last night
I laid down last night, tried to take my rest
My mind got to ramblin', like a wild geese
From the west, from the west
The woman I love, woman that I loved
Woman I loved, took her from my best friend
But he got lucky, stoled her back again
But he got lucky, stoled her back again

Don't Think Twice, It's All Right

Don't Think Twice, It's All Right
Bob Dylan

It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don't matter, anyhow
And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
When your rooster crows at the breaks of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm traveling on
Don't think twice, it's all right.

It ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
But I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talking anyway
So don't think twice, it's all right.

It ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
Like you never done before
It ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
I can't hear you any more
I'm a-thinking and a-wond'rin' walking down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
Don't think twice, it's all right.

So long honey, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
Goodbye's too good a word, babe
So I'll just say fare thee well
I ain't saying you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right.


And this is JuJu's version, which I think it's fabulously done.
