N年前我偶尔看到这支MV,当时被这个MTV震住了,乐队一帮人出现在烈日炎炎的中西部沙漠里,所有人都穿着黑色圆领短袖T恤和牛仔裤/靴,背后是漫天飞舞的黄沙,乐队在干涸的已经龟裂的地上摆开乐器音箱...伴随着这些画面Video上先后打出两行字 ------

    ALL MEN ARE HEROES   IN DREAMS——  S. FREUD

, }) z  C6 N7 P1 F5 r 当时我还以为这就是歌名 ，老是找啊找，心里想，怎么还有跟心理学家弗洛伊德同名的乐队或歌手的？找啊找，心里还想，这些人怎么长得这么像Bon jovi的？一直找不到答案，成为心里一大遗憾。结果今天无意中发现那S. FREUD就是西格蒙德·弗洛伊德，那熟悉的面孔就是我的偶像Bon jovi，那声音就是我喜欢的那把声音，我晕倒了好一会可恶 可恶 可恶
我的近视还真不轻！怪不得觉得这句话这么熟悉，原来在更早的N年前就看过了，只不过没放在心上。所以结论，有时问题的答案并不复杂，只是自己太多疑了。

这是Bon jovi 92年专辑<<Keep the Faith>>,其中的Dry County(干枯村落),时长9分多钟,抗议政府由于过度开采石油等资源而使得北美印地安原著民的生存环境被严重破坏...

Cross the border they turn water into wine
Some say it's the devil's blood
They squeezing from the vine
Some say it's a savior
In these hard and deseprated times
It seems to help me to forget
