Before I post my journal about what's been going on lately over the past few weeks, I'd first like to address a couple of things that have been printed in the papers this past week.

First, last week there were a few articles in the newspapers about what I had said about the selection criteria for the panel of judges for the Golden Melody Awards. The MAIN thing I would like to make a correction on is that I DID NOT say that DJ's (disc jockeys) are NOT qualified but, instead, that the majority of any panel of judges should NOT be comprised of DJ's. However, somebody in the press chose to ignore my entire statement and, instead, chose to just quote the phrase that would be the most 聳動 and use that as the headline.

This comment was NOT targeted at any particular DJ or group of DJ's. My point is that the panel of judges for any legitimate and authoritative music awards event should be on the majority comprised of active musicians, producers, and composers in the selected fields. Of course, DJ's should be included on the panel of judges; however, they should only be on the minority as they are not the actual people directly involved in the music making process. They are also not professionals in the field they are supposed to judge upon. Again, I mean NO disrespect to any DJ's or people working in radio as I have many friends in that field. In fact, I have great respect for many DJ's who do a lot of research and homework to bring to the general public the newest and best music and related news.

Again, I am NO official authority on music but am simply expressing my own personal opinion and nobody else's. At the same time, I do not wish for anybody to misunderstand, misinterpret or MISQUOTE what I have said or not said. I simply do not want there to be any misunderstandings on this issue.


The other more serious issue that has come up the last two days is something that was MISQUOTED by a news reporter regarding what I had said about not wanting to drive in Taipei. Allow me to clarify things…

I NEVER said that Taipei is dirty and I don't want to drive my cars here because it would dirty my cars.

I DID say, however, that because many of my cars are sports cars, in my opinion, I would prefer not to drive in Taipei because:

The roads are often congested due to traffic and you cannot really explore the speed and power of a sports cars
The roads and streets are narrow and it's often very easy to get your cars damaged or scratched
The roads have many bumps and potholes which are very damaging to a sports cars suspension system and chassis
Parking is often difficult and space is limited which discourages me from wanting to drive in Taipei

I have lived in Taipei for over ten years now and my entire family has driven in this city before. 我是台北人我也和大家一樣希望我們的城市的交通可以更好。

I truly hope THE MEDIA AND JOURNALISTS CAN PLEASE quote what people say in the future more accurately and be less sensational in the way they write or report the headlines and content. What ever happened to the truth?

Perhaps it's our responsibility and common sense, as readers and the general public, to NOT ALWAYS BELIEVE every word that is written in the papers or said on TV. 黑字寫在白紙上不一定就是真的。Think for yourself…instead


In pursuit of the truth…
Trust no one

2005年4月18日 廣州飯店的客房

在我透過日記交代這幾個禮拜發生的一些事情之前，我想先說說上個禮拜於報端披露的兩件事情。

首先，有些報紙在上個禮拜以部份篇幅報導了我提出金曲獎評審團遴選標準的議題。我必須澄清一件重要的事情 ﹣我並沒有說DJ是不符標準的，而是說評審團的多數成員不應該是由DJ所組成的。然而，卻有報社的記者選擇性地忽略了我陳述的整體脈絡，只挑出了其中最具聳動性的字眼，斷下標題。

這樣的意見並沒有針對任何特定的DJ個人或團體。我的觀點是，任何具備代表性與權威性的音樂頒獎活動，其評審團多數成員應該是由所屬領域裡，目前仍活躍的音樂家、製作人與作曲人中遴選而出。DJ可以是評審團的成員，但是由於他們並沒有直接參與、涉入整個音樂生產過程，所以他們應該只是其中的少數成員。他們也不是相關評審領域的專業人士。再次聲明的，我並沒有對任何DJ或電台工作人員有絲毫不敬的意思，我有很多朋友也是這個產業的工作人員。事實上，我對於一些做了許多研究功課的DJ是深感敬佩的，他們為一般大眾引介了最新最好的音樂及其相關報導。

再次強調的，我不是什麼音樂權威代表，我只是單純在表達個人的意見。同時，我不希望有人誤解、誤釋或誤用我說過的或沒說過的話。我只是不希望在這個議題上有任何的誤解。

另外一件更嚴重的事，這兩天有位記者在報導我不想在台北開車的議題時，誤述了我的話。請讓我釐清其中的一些事情...

我從來沒有說過台北很髒，而我不在台北開車的原因也不是因為這會弄髒我的車。

然而，我確實說過之所以不太想在台北開車是因為我的車多數是跑車，我的想法是：

1. 交通狀況導致道路雍塞，你並沒有辦法真的探索跑車的速度與馬力。
2. 街道狹隘很容易刮傷車體。
3. 路上有許多突起物與坑洞，這對跑車的懸吊系統與底盤會造成很大的損傷。
4. 停車不易，空間有限，這都讓我不想在台北開車。

我在台北居住十幾年了，我的家人之前也都在台北開過車。我是台北人，我也和大家一樣希望我們的城市的交通可以更好。

我真的希望媒體跟記者未來在引用別人的話語時可以更為精確，在報導或撰寫的新聞標題與內容也可以不要那麼腥羶色。真理去了那裡？

這或許是我們的責任與常識，作為讀者與一般大眾，不能永遠相信報紙上寫的與電視上說的。黑字寫在白紙上不一定就是真的。反而應該要...自我思考。

追尋真理...
無所信從
