On my way to the office this morning, Meat Loaf and the " Bad out of Hell2 " music accompany with me, and I think of Stone -- my high school classmate; he was a fan of Meat Loaf and the exclusive songwriter Jim Steinman who wrote brilliant songs to Meat Loaf's album . and Stone sung and copy their repertoire, he had a student band -- in the 70"s, almost all the student band singing top 40 or copy what they like the most from their listening experience; Stone and his band members -- we knew each other from high school to university and I knew every band members. Lead guitar and Drumer they are brothers, after graduation and unlist from the military, the family immegrate to the States, Bass player who is my neighborhoor, married and devoiced and re-married agian, now he is in the States too; Stone -- the lead singer of the band, died young -- I am not sure when did he passed away, but I heard that was a car accident in Australia which took his live, they play Rainbows, Deep Purple and of course The Eagles and performing in varies student party at campus, I remember introduce them to our colleage to perform too.
after that, I met the band members of Starry Eyes -- then an amerture student band, but regularly performing in the club -- the Parco, this is how I connected to the musician's world, Yen become close friend of mine, Strarry Eyes getting popular, I play the role as tour manager to arrange their first outdoor gig in our colleage. after my service in military, me and Yen establish our first artitst management company, even though the company is on longer existing, we are close friend still, even I am away form the music industry, we see each other, update each other from time to time.
Stone coundn't hear the " Bat out of the Hell 2 " is really a pity, he never know there's sequel release of the Classic album " Bat out of the Hell ", We study the lyric from the music and found Jim's writing is weired, the lyric something means nothing or sound nonsense to us, the irony or ridiculous lyris didn't hurt out love of his music , today, the music bring me through the tunnel of time, and I think of the pass , the music and the people; Dr. Andrew said, when we are 30's, spend 92% of our time think about outself, but when we grow to the 50%, we only spend 29% of time think about ourself, memory is what we left when times goes by.
Last night, my wife feel sorrow and panic agian, when the Dean of Froest Elementary School call home to her and update the life and behavior about Sound, she went almost break down; the detail is not compelling, the point is when the dean told me wife about their collective observation and suggest her to buy the book -- a book talking about ADHD ( Attention Defecent Hiperactive Dicease ), she can't stop crying, was the dignosis we been a few years ago was ture, how come these children profession's opinion toward the same result, will they keep Sound in the school after 2 weeks of trial study ( this is a probation period ), if we have to take him back, where to put him and how to help Sound and help us overcome the jounery ahead of us ? she had no answers, I tried to analyse where we are and provide the solution one by one, as these solution are hypothesis, I am tried to comfort my wife and don't let things getting worst; think about that -- a father must work for the whole family and at the same time taking card a over -active kids and a deep depressed wife -- the mirrow reflect won't feel good, I must solve it one by one. on the coming Sat. I will arrange an intimacy conversation with Sound and explain to him the situation we are facing, how he gonna do to make believe his is qualifed to study in Forest is the topic I want to address; the foutune is on his hand, as parent, this is the best we can do now.
Dinner with Yu were pleasure as usual, long time friend who we exchange live and working expeirence in between made us the friend in deed, he've been heavly devoted to Christian for 20 months, since then, the first porting of our meeting with be the preaching and prasing of God, he tried to lead me to the gate -- where God is shining and guiding, I always listen and fully understand how important religion bring him out of the pain he's been suffer, then we update our current sitaution, M. his elder son decided to have new career in China, M. sold his car, prepare capital and pioneering to his own venture, this make Yu happen, he thought this is the first time his son want to go independence; every parent carry the never ending worry about their children, it's a mix of complain and expectation, he pay his due to the elder son for 10 years; cause by the confrontation of religious prinspal, his second son don't want to talk to him anymore -- they are from the same priest and the thing turn out to be awful, second son have worked with me in the record company and dream of becoming an artist one day, this dream didn't come to reality, but his religiour belive lay a heavy conflict with the family, this is totally beyond my imagination; Shark Fin was what we had last night, he live in simply and humble life now, all I said to him is I am hungry for the soup for a while, come and join me for the soup and to share everything in between.
Sound didn't call home yesterday, his mother ring him twice, this is what I don't feel comfortable, the letter today I will send the message of contact with mother, to handle my wife's sorrow last night, I sacrifice the sleeping time , I feel tired now.
