5 Rough Roads

CHAPTER 5 Rough Roads After "Satisfaction" dominated the music charts in the summer of 1965, the Rolling Stones became a huge success. Their schedule was packed with tours, television appearances, and recording sessions. Ed Sullivan even broke his promise and invited the Stones back to perform on his show. They had no time to rest.

1965年夏天，《满意》称霸音乐排行榜后，滚石乐队获得了巨大的成功。 他们的日程安排满了巡演、上电视和录音。 埃德·沙利文甚至打破了他的承诺，邀请滚石乐队回来在他的节目上表演。 他们没有时间休息。

By July of that year, the Rolling Stones had sold about ten million singles and about five million albums. They were rich! They spent money on fancy cars, fancy clothes, and fancy houses. They had become rock stars. The Stones loved driving their fans wild, just like they had back at the Crawdaddy Club. But sometimes the audiences weren't just dancing to the music. They were out of control. Inside the theaters, fans threw things at the band, ripped up seats, and tried to grab them onstage. Outside, fans became violent, overturning cars and smashing windows. After many Stones shows, people often had to be rushed to the hospital. Their concerts were becoming unsafe.

到当年7月，滚石乐队已经卖出了大约1000万首单曲和约500万张专辑。 他们很富有！他们把钱花在豪车、华服和豪宅上。 他们成了摇滚明星。 滚石乐队喜欢让他们的粉丝疯狂起来，就像他们在Crawdaddy俱乐部时一样。 但有时观众并不只是随着音乐起舞。 他们失去了控制。在剧院里，粉丝们向乐队扔东西，撕毁座位，并试图在舞台上抢走他们。 在外面，粉丝们变得暴力起来，掀翻了汽车，打碎了窗户。 在许多斯通演出之后，人们经常不得不被紧急送往医院。 他们的音乐会变得越来越不安全。

The band members lived a dangerous life when they weren't performing, too. They held wild parties. They destroyed hotel rooms. Most of them drank alcohol and took drugs. In the fall of 1966, the Stones wanted a break from their year of nonstop work. They wanted to focus on writing new music. Keith had bought a lot of records during their trips to the United States, and he finally took time to listen to them. The band came into the recording studio with

乐队成员不表演的时候也过着危险的生活。 他们举行疯狂的聚会。他们摧毁了酒店房间。 他们中的大多数人酗酒和吸毒。 1966年秋天，滚石乐队想要从一年不停的工作中休息一下。 他们想专注于创作新音乐。 基思在他们去美国旅行期间买了很多唱片，他终于花时间听了一听。 乐队带着……走进录音室

the beginnings of ideas. Then they experimented with rhythm, lyrics, and instruments. They worked without a plan. Andrew Oldham, who had been the Stones manager since the days of the Crawdaddy Club, didn't like the band's new direction. He didn't think they were focused enough. So he decided to stop managing the band. And then drugs became a big problem for Keith and Mick. In February 1967, police searched Keith's house and found illegal drugs

思想的开端。然后他们尝试了节奏、歌词和乐器。 他们没有计划地工作。 安德鲁·奥尔德姆（Andrew Oldham）从“小龙虾俱乐部”（Crawdaddy Club）时代起就一直担任滚石乐队的经理，他不喜欢乐队的新方向。 他认为他们不够专注。 所以他决定不再管理乐队。 后来毒品成了凯斯和米克的大问题。 1967年2月，警察搜查了基思的家，发现了非法毒品

there. Both Keith and Mick were arrested. Newspapers reported the news. Keith and Mick even spent a short time in jail. Their arrests didn't change the opinions of their fans, though. They still loved the Rolling Stones because the band sang about subjects that teenagers could relate to. They sang about being angry and frustrated. They sang about how hard it was to make choices. The Stones' songs dealt with problems that adults didn't like to discuss.

在那里。基思和米克都被捕了。 报纸报道了这一消息。 基思和米克甚至在监狱里呆过一段时间。 不过，他们的被捕并没有改变粉丝们的看法。 他们仍然喜欢滚石乐队，因为乐队所唱的主题与青少年有关。 他们唱的是愤怒和沮丧。 他们歌唱着做出选择是多么困难。 滚石乐队的歌曲涉及成年人不喜欢讨论的问题。

The 1960s and a Nation Ready for Change The 1950s was a prosperous time for many Americans. People had jobs and were earning enough money to buy houses, cars, and television sets. But many people, including minorities, poor people, and women, hadn't shared in the successes of the 1950s. During the 1960s, things began to change. President John F. Kennedy promised to help black Americans. Civil

20世纪60年代和准备变革的国家20世纪50年代对许多美国人来说是一个繁荣的时期。 人们有了工作，赚了足够的钱来买房子、汽车和电视机。 但是很多人，包括少数民族、穷人和妇女，都没有分享到20世纪50年代的成功。 在20世纪60年代，情况开始发生变化。 约翰·肯尼迪总统承诺帮助美国黑人。 民事
