This past friday at Temple, as i watched them go through the last half of their set with Rikki Sixx helping out on bass, i finally grasped the whole song as i watched a generation sing about where they came from and how they coped… and while they might not know it, Li Bo and Co. have penned the anthem for their generation of rock n rollers ( kick ass, Los crashers, res A….): some twenty years ago二十几年前 I landed on this big bad world我来到了这操蛋的世界 in the first place I didn’t know起初我可不知道 it was the age of rock n’ roll那曾是个属于摇滚的时代 I am now twenty-four现在二十多的我 not a child anymore不再年少轻狂 not about to change the world不敢妄想改变这世界 [...]
