You always talk about Brian Jones, Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Joplin, Cobain, who died at the age of 27, and lots of genius died at the age of 27. But what did you achieve before the age of 27? What is the difference to you between dying at 27 and dying at birth?You don't deserve to die young.

Today is NOT a Good Day to Die.

Tomorrow won't be, either.

在1876年的小巨角之戰(zhàn)中，印第安人的蘇族領(lǐng)袖“瘋馬”曾經(jīng)說(shuō)過(guò)一句“Hóka-héy, today is a good day to die!”（今天不是個(gè)死掉的好日子）。

而在當(dāng)今的世界上，我已經(jīng)想象不出任何的場(chǎng)合是配說(shuō)出這句話的。

不要聽(tīng)Malcolm X的演講錄音了宅男，你不配。你們已經(jīng)擁有了整個(gè)時(shí)代，還要多貪得無(wú)厭才夠？你坐在電腦前，能下載到各種豐富的資源。知道為什么這個(gè)時(shí)代的娛樂(lè)這么豐富嗎？因?yàn)槟銈儾慌淙ニ馈Ｋ跃唾嚮钪桑宦吠娴?0歲。你們不配過(guò)早地死去。

你們總是談?wù)摬既R恩·瓊斯、莫里森、吉米·亨德里克斯、喬普林、柯本，在27歲死了，天才都在27歲死了。請(qǐng)問(wèn)你27歲前取得了什么成就？你在27歲死和你在出生時(shí)就夭折，又有什么區(qū)別？你們不配過(guò)早地死去。

今天不是個(gè)死掉的好日子。

明天也不是。
