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 ------

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...
