Chapter 582 582
Sally entered a new world, she felt the surging passion of glory to death, the unique personality of Radiohead, the simple catharsis of Green Sun, the dark gloom of Alice the Prisoner, the irony and banter of the kerosene stove... and many more Many rock bands full of their own characteristics, this is like a carnival, but it is more colorful than the carnival, and this is just the tip of the iceberg of the rock world.

Entering the golden age; Sally has also experienced the tour life of singing while walking at the Junjie Music Festival. This kind of "on the road" life with a wandering nature is also one of the most essential features of rock and roll, that kind of breaking free from bondage and yearning for freedom The spirit also made her understand why Glory to Death is so sought after...
It was a journey so wonderful that it was difficult to describe in words. All the memories left a vivid image in my mind, and it became the most precious memory in Sally's life. Sally's entire world has been turned upside down.
Jessica accompanied her daughter through this week's tour. The shock she felt was undoubtedly even greater. Born in the 1960s, she grew up in the atmosphere of national rock. She does not reject rock, but She's not crazy about rock either, so this time JJ Music Festival feels like a distant arctic world to her - she's always known it existed, but never really understood it.
The world of rock and roll is full of countless possibilities. It is a world that cannot be presented in words. Even the most gorgeous language, no matter how romantic poems, no matter how wonderful words and phrases are, can not present one ten thousandth of the beauty of this world.
This is a world that must be experienced in person before you can feel it. Standing outside this area, watching and appreciating, even if you claim to know it well, you will find out after you take a step into the world, all thoughts and ideas. And ideas must be overthrown and rebuilt.
This is a world that is easy to get lost, addicted and crazy, poison. Products, alcohol, sex. No one will deny the existence of love and violence, because this is a utopia separated from society, but if you can see the essence of the world through these negative substances - release oneself and pursue freedom, then this world will become a life the most powerful force.
Sally has found a new purpose in life, and she can see her strong self-confidence and strong belief in her smile; and Jessica has re-understood her life, and she realized that originally in this world In a certain corner of , there is a group of people living like this wanton.
All this is the shock brought by Glory to Death. If she saw "Glory to Death, or Glory or Death" written in the newspaper before, Jessica would think it was a joke, as if "Football has nothing to do with life and death, but high People who don't understand the famous saying "for life and death" will only find it ridiculous and even hate it, but when you really enter this world and understand it, you will know that this is not a joke, this is a spiritual pillar, this is a The power to change the color of the world.
Watching the five members of glory to death stand on the stage, their tall bodies are so small against the infinitely wide stage, but when the music starts, they are so shining, taking away all the light, as if the whole world All are their stage, showing their talents and ideas.
Maybe that's what makes music great.
The performance of Glory to the Dead is definitely the biggest attraction among the first three performances of the Junjie Music Festival. Whenever Glory to the Dead performs on stage, more than 90% of the audience will flock away, which also forces the organizers to perform. Fang had to make adjustments in the third performance, listing Glory to Death as a separate performance to avoid the dilemma of the side stage performances being performed at the same time.
The loyal rock audience of Junjie Music Festival proved that Glory to Death is excellent.

When in a city, the performers will make some minor adjustments.
However, when Junjie Music Festival wanted to invite Glory to Death to participate in all the performances of the entire tour, it was already a step behind. Hugo had already signed a contract with the "Pulp Fiction" crew, and Glory to Death could only perform these three performances, which also made The organizers of the Junjie Music Festival are embarrassed, not to mention the enthusiastic audience.
Glory to Death's third performance in Seattle was scheduled to appear on the final big axis. The performance lasted for a full hour, and the Encore returned twice, which ended their performance at the Junjie Music Festival; but even so, fans The enthusiasm was still not relieved. After the Seattle performance, the fans gathered outside the venue for two hours, unwilling to disperse. Finally, the members of the band Glory to the Dead appeared in the rain and held a small meeting with the fans. Let the crowd disperse slowly.

So far, but they chose to continue to take their own steps, on the road of rock and roll, on the road of chasing dreams and chasing freedom, and continue to move forward. Perhaps, this is the biggest gain for Jessica and Sally!
