MTV, MAD TV... Τι στο καλό?

Το έχω σκεφτεί πολλές φορές, φυσικά την ίδια σκέψη έχουν κάνει πάρα πολλά άτομα ανά τον κόσμο. Αν σταματήσει ο κόσμος να βλέπει MTV (ή MAD TV στην Ελλάδα) θα αλλάξει η mainstream μουσική? Θα αρχίσει ο κόσμος επιτέλους να νοιάζεται για την μουσική ποιότητα και όχι ποσότητα? (με τον όρο ποσότητα αναφέρομαι στην ποιοτική ποσότητα μπουτιών, στηθών, βυζιά, μ**νιά και άλλα πολλά που χαρακτηρίζουν πολλές και πολλούς νέες/νέους τραγουδιστές)

Τι απέγινε η δεκαετία του 60 με τους Beatles? Που έχουν χαθεί οι τεράστιες πωλήσεις των Pink Floyd και τα τραγούδια με νόημα πέρα από το πόση αγάπη μπορεί να χαθεί καθώς τα δοκάρια στο γρασίδι περιμένουν ένα.. YO (!!! ) ??

Πολλοί ίσως να πουν ότι είμαι κολλημένος σε παλιές εποχές και ότι ΚΑΙ η μουσική πρέπει να εξελίσσεται, αλλά (το μεγάλο και παντοτινό αλλά) μέσα από την εξέλιξη της μουσικής δεν είναι αναγκαστικό να εξαλειφτεί η ποιότητα της.

Υπάρχουν νέα συγκροτήματα που προσφέρουν τα μέγιστα στην ιστορία της μουσικής και θα παραμείνουν στην αφάνεια και πολλά πρόστυχα ξεκολάκια.. εεεε… με συγχωρείτε.. όμορφες παρουσίες ήθελα να πω, με πλήρη αίσθηση παραφωνίας, όπου πλουτίζουν εις βάρος των καρκινωμάτων που δημιουργούνται στην λεπτεπίλεπτη κατασκευή των αυτιών μας.

Μιας και σχεδόν όλα τα τραγούδια αυτού του (άτιμου!!) αιώνα είναι για αγάπες και λελούδια, καλό είναι να μάθουμε και να ψάξουμε να ακούσουμε κάτι παλιό, κλασσικό rock του 20ου αιώνα και πιο συγκεκριμένα του 1993.

Σας παρουσιάζω τους στίχους του I'll do anything for love από Meatloaf. Δίσκος: Bat out of Hell II: Back into Hell (1993).

Meat Loaf I'll do anything for love

And I would do anything for love
I'd run right into hell and back
I would do anything for love
I'd never lie to you and that's a fact
But I'll never forget the way you feel right now,
Oh no, no way
And I would do anything for love
Oh, I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love, but I won't do that
No, I won't do that

Some days it don't come easy
Some days it don't come hard
Some days it don't come at all, and these are the days that never end
Some nights you're breathing fire
Some nights you're carved in ice
Some nights you're like nothing I've ever seen before or will again

Maybe I'm crazy, oh it's crazy and it's true
I know you can save me, no-one else can save me now but you

As long as the planets are turning
As long as the stars are burning
As long as your dreams are coming true
You'd better believe it, that I would do

And I would do anything for love
And I'll be there until the final act
And I would do anything for love, and I'll take a vow and seal a pact
But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way, tonight
And I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
No, I won't do that

I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that
I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that

Some days I pray for silence
Some days I pray for soul
Some days I just pray to the god of sex and drums and rock 'n' roll

Maybe I'm lonely, that's all I'm qualified to be
That's just one and only, the one and only promise I can keep

As long as the wheels are turning
As long as the fires are burning
As long as your prayers are coming true
You'd better believe it, that I would do

Anything for love
And you know it's true and that's a fact
I would do anything for love, and there'll never be no turning back
But I'll never do it better than I do it with you. So long, so long
And I would do anything for love
Oh, I would do anything for love
Oh, I would do anything for love, but I won't do that
No, no, no, I won't do...

I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that
I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that
I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that

But I'll never stop dreaming of you ev'ry night of my life, no way
I would do anything for love
Oh, I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love, but I won't do that
No, I won't do that

[Girl:]
Will you raise me up? will you help me down?
Will you get me right out of this godforsaken town?
Will you make it all a little less cold?

[Boy:]
I can do that
I can do that

[Girl:]
Will you cater to every fantasy I got?
Will you hose me down with holy water, if I get too hot?
Will you take me places I've never known?

[Boy:]
I can do that
Oh no, I can do that

[Girl:]
After a while you'll forget everything
It was a brief interlude and a midsummer night's fling
And you'll see that it's time to move on

[Boy:]
I won't do that
I won't do that

[Girl:]
I know the territory, I've been around
It'll all turn to dust and we'll all fall down
Sooner or later you'll be screwing around

[Boy:]
I won't do that
No, I won't do that

Anything for love
Oh, I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love, but I won't do that
No, I won't do that
