B.J. Thomas為德州遊騎兵隊加油

今年MLB美國職棒世界大賽最後是由德州遊騎兵隊與舊金山巨人隊爭冠,因為王建民與郭泓志的關係,我比較喜歡看洋基、光芒、紅襪和道奇這些隊的比賽,主要是球員比較熟識,輸贏無所謂,欣賞球技優先啦!
禮拜五晚上在德州阿靈頓所舉行的騎兵隊對洋基隊的那場美聯冠軍戰,開場唱國歌所請來的是老歌星B.J. Thomas,這位唱紅由保羅紐曼和勞柏瑞福所主演的電影Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid「虎豹小霸王」插曲Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head的男歌星,是在德州Rosenberg長大的,在歷年暢銷歌星排行是第174名的著名鄉村流行歌手,獲1969年奧斯卡最佳電影歌曲獎的Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head是由1960年代最紅的詞曲搭擋Hal David 與Burt Bacharach所寫的,這首歌曾連續獲4週排行榜冠軍,而他的另一首排行榜冠軍曲是1975年的(Hey Won’t You Play)Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song。
1976年後B.J. Thomas改唱福音歌曲。

RAINDROPS KEEP FALLIN' ON MY HEAD

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bedNothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'
So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'
But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me'
Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
------ trumpet ------
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me'
Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me

    為什麼John Lennon 約翰·藍儂與George Harrison喬治·哈里森的關係常常名聲不佳?   John Lennon是個複雜而矛盾的人,時而樂於助人,時而又輕蔑他人,時而積極樂觀,時而又批判他人。你永遠無法預知他性格中的哪一部分會在特定情況下...
