Lesson One在文单的头三段里,作者以相同的手法描写了三位摇滚歌星的表演盛况。

When Mick Jagger‘s fans look at him as a high priest or a god, are you with them or against them? Do you share Chris Singer‘s almost religious reverence for Bob Dylan? Do you think he – or Dylan – is misguided? Do you reject Alice Cooper as sick? Or are you drawn somehow to this strange clown, perhaps because he asts out your wildest fantasies? Lesson Two正如本课中所说的,他们当中有些人脱离传统的社会活动,拒绝承担任何社会责任,过着颓废的寄生生活;有些人逃离城市,跑到偏僻的乡间过着原始公社式的生活;有些人则试图以暴力手段改变社会状况,遭到了残酷的镇压。
