Hm… the music play is a lot better. I like the bass in this album. Generally, if you like guitar (and taiwan music), this album is still a buy.
The songs themselves… it’s not much different from his first album. I mean… I don’t feel any “growth” in the songs. They are still the similar tunes. I like his first album a lot more. You can feel the power of a rookie! The immense energy and desire to sing out his passion.
This 七天 album is like… flat… can’t pair the 早餐 power in his first album in anyway…
Maybe he is pressed too much and too hard by people around him…
This is Jamie Oliver’s speech of his TED prize wish: Teach every child about food. Think it applies to adult too. There are many 無飯夫妻 in Hong Kong. Remember… we are what we eat!
The Grammy award 2010 makes every love country music. Anyway… I m not that into country or R&B…
The important thing is… Greenday’s got the Rock Album of the Year. Ha… actually… don’t think award is that important to them… (I actually think Grammy award is getting more and more meaningless. You can tell from who’s got nominated and awarded)
The iPad hype has completely blown away my attention to Obama’s State of the Union Address. Not sure if Steve Jobs has sent the tech savvy president a demo unit to White House.
Anyways… finally got time to watch his address in youtube. With the recent victory of Republican in the Kennedy seat, you can expect try every possible means to regain people’s confidence in his leadership.
I quite like his speech. You can feel his tremendous passion to his country within each arguments against opposition parties.
He told his own party “To Democrats, I would remind you that we still have the largest majority in decades, and the people expect us to solve problems, not run for the hills. “. To Republicans, he said, “Just saying no to everything may be good short-term politics, but it’s not leadership. We were sent here to serve our citizens, not our ambitions.” (BTW, I think Hong Kong has the same problem as well)
He also dismissed Republican’s complaints to economic and government budget saying “From some on the right, I expect we’ll hear a different argument -– that if we just make fewer investments in our people, extend tax cuts including those for the wealthier Americans, eliminate more regulations, maintain the status quo on health care, our deficits will go away. The problem is that’s what we did for eight years.”
I wish politicians in Hong Kong have this ability as well! The ability to pin point problems and solutions, to dismiss accuses and show leadership, to lead the road ahead and give us hope….
I do suggest you to check out the speech. (transcript here if you prefer reading it instead )
