第十六章：五杀摇滚乐队（2/2）

斯坦老爹摇了摇头：

“随你吧。好了，快去干活儿！今天的客人有点多，干活麻利点！”

山姆带着查尔斯以及艾瑞克等人来到了后台，山姆看向众人：

“你们需要做点什么准备吗？”

几个人摇了摇头。于是山姆离开了。过了会儿，外面传来欢呼声，山姆让查尔斯和艾瑞克等人登台，他们登台了。然后演唱起了他们的第一首曲子：

“this ain't a song for the broken-hearted

no silent prayer for the faith-departed

i ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd

you're gonna hear my voice

when i shout it out aloud

it's my life

it's now or never

i ain't gonna live forever

i just want to live while i'm alive

（it's my life）

my heart is like an open highway

like mummy said

i did it my way

i just wanna live while i'm alive

it's my life

this is for the ones who stood their ground

for charls and erick who never backed down

tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake

luck ain't even lucky

got to make your own breaks

it's my life

and it's now or never

i ain't gonna live forever

i just want to live while i'm alive

（it's my life）

my heart is like an open highway

like mummy said

i did it my way

i just want to live while i'm alive

（it's my life）

better stand tall when they're calling you out

don't bend don't break baby don't back down

it's my life

it's now or never

i ain't gonna live forever

i just want to live while i'm alive

（it's my life）

my heart is like an open highway

like mummy said

i did it my way

i just want to live while i'm alive

it's my life

it's now or never

i ain't gonna live forever

i just want to live while i'm alive

（it's my life）

my heart is like an open highway

like mummy said

i did it my way

i just want to live while i'm alive

it's my life”

一首歌曲引爆全场，全场都在欢呼，呼喊着“摇滚至上！”以及“安可！”。于是查尔斯他们再次演唱了一首歌曲。就这样，查尔斯以及艾瑞克等人在老爹酒馆待了下来。斯坦老爹为他们支付报酬：

“尽管我不知道你们在吼什么，但你们的大喊大叫确实让我的生意变好了许多，这是你们应得的。”

像斯坦老爹这样的人显然更喜欢乡村音乐，而不是像扯着嗓子大喊大叫的摇滚音乐。当然，摇滚确实让他的生意好了很多。
