访谈录 2014-08-15&08-17 乡村歌手卢克·布莱恩答记者问

 Country superstar Luke Brian. 

It’s loud. 

Yeah, it’s loud. You have a pretty good year, Luke. You have four back to back number one hits in May. He made Billboard¹ history by simultaneously² owning the number one and the number two spots on the country air play chart in June. His album Crash My Party was certified³ double platinum⁴. And People Country named him 2014 sexist man. And I can edge that in the biggest concert this summer yet, 5107 people came out to see you today Luke. 

 

I also looked out that you were going to the ABC Hit Show Nashville. I saw you reading your lines on the foyer. 

I’m studying. 

Are you nervous? 

A little bit. 

I’m too.

It’s kind of, oh yeah, that’s right. We’re on this thing together. 

It’s a little, it’s a new world for me. I’ll try to get my lines right. I try not to mess up. 

 

It’s okay, because you are standing⁵ next to the sexist man alive, It doesn’t really matter, everyone’s just looking at him. Magazine cover, the whole deal you say it had to do with your proper eye brows? 

Oh, yeah, Eye brows, I don’t know, you know, I got a lot of buddies⁶, they gave me a lot great about this, this sexist man cover and stuff. 

I think, you know what I think was, I think it was your signature move. Remember last ball when I showed you the mashup. See, this is just an excuse, we can now show the mashup. 

 

Are we running it on the air? 

Yeah, it is airing right now, the brothers are watching, you take a lot of flak for that? 

I’ve given more flak for that mashup, then I do actually… the whole, the People cover stuff.  You know when I was on the stage I’m just cutting up.

You’re just having fun?

I just, you know I feel like if I’m loose, if I’m not taking myself too seriously, then all the fans can get up and do the same. 

Speaking of your fans, really quickly, just one would get big shot out, Herdassa Abraham, she’s right over there, she came here at 2pm yesterday. 

2pm?!

At the Central Park just to here you Luke, and that’s the kind of fans you have…
