Backstreets
One soft infested summer
Me and Terry became friends
Trying in vain to breathe
The fire we was born in
Catching rides to the outskirts
Tying faith between our teeth
Sleeping in theat old abandoned beach house
Getting wasted in the heat
And hiding on the backstreets
With a love so hard and filled with defeat
Running for our lives at night on them backstreets
Slow dancing in the dark
On the beach at Stockton's Wing
Where desperate lovers parks
We sat with the last of the Duke Street Kings
Huddied in our cars
Waiting for the bells that ring
In the deep heart of the night
They set us loose of everything
To go running on the backstreets
Running on the backstreets
Terry you swore we'd live forever
Taking it on them backstreets together
Endless juke joints and Valentino drag
Where famous dancers scraped th tears
Up off the street dressed down in rags
Running into the darkness
Some hurt bad some really dying
At night sometimes it seemed
You could hear the whole damn city crying
Blame it on the lies that killed us
Blame it on the truth that ran us down
You can blame it all on me Terry
It don't matter to me now
When the breakdown hit at midnight
There was nothing left to say
But I hated him
And I hated you when you went away
Laying here in the dark
You're like an angel on my chest
Just another tramp of hearts
Crying tears of faithlessness
Remember all the movies, Terry
We'd go see
trying to learn how to walk like the heroes
We thought we had to be
And after all this time
To find we're just like all the rest
Stranded in the park
And forced to confess
To hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets
Where we swore forever friends
On the backstreets until the end
Hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets

一定要寫的一篇文章
「關於策展，我教給他們的是一種『工具』，而今，很多人卻把這個工具當成了真實/現實。」
在愛咪的網站上看到這個句子，讓我在電腦前面震撼了好一陣子，久久不能忘懷。因為前陣子緊湊的面試新人行程，對於書店這份工作，或著擴大來說，對於文化藝術這個「產業」，又有了一種非常不同的認知，而這個句子幾乎完全命中我那還很模糊的概念核心。更進一步，這個句子背後所隱涵的意念，更是直接點出多數在這個產業裡打滾的人一直很難誠實去面對的問題。
甚至是因為看到這個句子，我才突然明白之前一直在關注的意念，竟然已經被梳理成一個明顯的脈落，並且以緩慢但非常踏實的速度，逐漸的在形成某種根深蒂固的價值觀與行動準則，儘管還是有許多跌撞與脫序。
這也是第一次，當回顧自己的人生的時候，不再是一片迷惘與混亂。
要將這些訴諸文字是困難複雜且痛苦的，但我想這大概會是一篇非寫不可的文章。嗯，非寫不可，在這個當下我這樣想著。
