Once upon a time you dressed so fine You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you? People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall" You thought they were all kiddin' you You used to laugh about Everybody that was hangin' out Now you don't talk so loud Now you don't seem so proud About having to be scrounging for your next meal.
How does it feel How does it feel To be without a home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone?
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely But you know you only used to get juiced in it And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street And now you find out you're gonna have to get used to it You said you'd never compromise With the mystery tramp, but now you realize He's not selling any alibis As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes And ask him do you want to make a deal?
How does it feel How does it feel To be on your own With no direction home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone?
You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns When they all come down and did tricks for you You never understood that it ain't no good You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat Ain't it hard when you discover that He really wasn't where it's at After he took from you everything he could steal.
How does it feel How does it feel To be on your own With no direction home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone?
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things But you'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe You used to be so amused At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
How does it feel How does it feel To be on your own With no direction home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone? 以下是我在youtube上蒐集的三個很棒的演唱版本：
Live by "Bob Dylan" in 1966
Music Video by "The Rolling Stones"
"Jimi Hendrix" Live in Monterey / Like a Rolling Stone in 1967
從我開始聽滾石大嘴巴此曲一直是我最愛的搖滾歌曲top10。電腦裡有個資料夾叫作" jimmy's 100 Rock'n Roll "，是念大學時代用napster 一首一首把那100首搖滾經典名曲(VH1: 100 Greatest Rock Songs)跨山隔海的從世界的彼端抓下來。其中Like A Rolling Stone是先抓到The Rolling Stones的版本。
對我來說意義最深刻的是排名第3 "Stairway to Heaven / Led Zeppelin"，哪個學過吉他的不曾幻想過自己的手指頭能有jimmy page的1/10快好抓下那銷魂得鋪天蓋地的solo。當年抓的並不完整，很幸運的在室友強納生的ftp裡發現100 Greatest Guitar Solos，100首都有了只是並不完全是榜上的歌手詮釋的版本，如此補足不少我遺漏的。
Bob Dylan的原創版本當然是經典中的經典，但是他老人家含在嘴裏呢喃的詩句以及飄浮不定隨心所至的吉他和絃，連高手都難以摹仿。至然，最近煩惱要考過TOEFL itp 500的我，很難去follow他在唱甚麼。
聽 著父親所蒐集的Muddy Waters、John Lee Hooker唱片長大的Jimi Hendirx在他短暫絢麗的錄音生涯(recording career) 中，並沒有製作過一張藍調專輯。這位對迷幻及前衛搖滾有著重大影響的天才，我最喜歡的卻是這一張Blues。Blues 蒐集他從1966-1970的重要藍調歌曲，其中不乏重新詮釋前輩們的舊作。
acoustic 版本的 " Hear My Train Comin' "讓人一開始就沉醉在木吉他的低鳴與Hendrix的嗓音...

我也極愛十二弦木吉他版的Hear My Train A-Comin'，這段是在攝影棚裡錄製的，Jimi彈了一小段便哽咽唱不下去，要求重來，這段錄影我猜YouTube上面應該找得到。
聽John Lee Hooker、Muddy Waters的台灣青年如今應該不多矣，歡迎多多分享心得啊！ _________________ http://honeypie.org

Big Brother & The Holding Company [ CHEAP THRLLS]實在太適合現在的情境，唱片側標這樣寫著：
嚴苛來說，[ CHEAP THRILLS ]裡有許多技術上的問題，但是這張專輯最重要的，就是他裏頭豐富無比的情緒與感覺，在Andrew及Gurley毫不矯飾且又經常自由穿插、具有爆發力的吉他伴奏下，很有默契的讓出足夠的空間給Joplin盡情抒發她滿意的情感，與發自靈魂深處的呼號。尤其是Joplin與樂團演唱會的招牌名曲 "Combination Of The Two"以及靈魂經典"Piece of My Heart"，後者一樣是首讓聆聽者不法喘息的歌曲，也是無人能超越的版本。摘自[搖滾經典百選]
聽著父親所蒐集的Muddy Waters、John Lee Hooker唱片長大的Jimi Hendirx在他短暫絢麗的錄音生涯(recording career) 中，並沒有製作過一張藍調專輯。這位對迷幻及前衛搖滾有著重大影響的天才，我最喜歡的卻是這一張Blues。Blues蒐集他從1966-1970的重要藍調歌曲，其中不乏重新詮釋前輩們的舊作。
acoustic版本的 " Hear My Train Comin' "讓人一開始就沉醉在木吉他的低鳴與Hendrix的嗓音，唱片最後一首則是electric的版本。Albert King 的"Burn under A Bad Sign"雖說是舊作，但是經過他的吸收、咀嚼再表現出來其實就像新的東西。整首都是吉他solo，並且運用哇哇器(Wah-wah pedal)產生不同的效果，真的很棒。
口味慢慢變重，"Red House"可以聽到風馳電摰的音符子彈從Fender Stratocaster 發射出來。這首Hendrix最著名藍調歌曲據說(參考一)參考自Elmore James的"The Sky Is Cring"。唱片中也收錄另外一個版本"Electric Church Red House"。彷彿在跟大家説 Wellcome to Electric Church，可以體會他對音樂的狂熱，就好比自己是一個傳教士一樣。
真的好愛這張專輯, 有好幾次聽著聽著眼眶紅了。有一次拿著筆電到圖書館聽著林生祥的歌聲做投影片，興起之下上Youtube搜尋。找到交工樂隊在美濃黃蝶祭第一次公開發表這張專輯，在當林生祥的母親在"縣道一八四"的口白念完，我的眼淚就止不住的流。
