每當過年的時候，我都會不其然想起賣藝人的賀年對聯：
年年難過年年過 處處無家處處家
我就是喜歡「年年過 處處家」的豁達。
1965年，John Lennon在Beatles的時候寫了這首Nowhere Man，當時已經覺得很有哲理，有點像道家裡「無」的哲學。雖然Beatles的歌大部份都是寫著Lennon & McCartney的作品，作為一個忠實的Beatles迷，一定能夠分辨出那一首曲是出自誰的手筆，尤其是歌詞方面，立見高下。
Nowhere Man
He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Doesn't have a point of view
knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere man please listen
You don't know what you're missing
Nowhere man, The world is at your command
He's as blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see
Nowhere man, can you see me at all
Nowhere man don't worry
Take your time, don't hurry
Leave it all till somebody else
Lends you a hand
Ah, la, la, la, la
Doesn't have a point of view
knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere man please listen
You don't know what you're missing
Nowhere man, The world is at your command
Ah, la, la, la, la
He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

1979年，我認識了一班新同學，加入了他們的「頹廢幫」，當時就想起了這首歌。至1980年，John在被人槍殺前寫了另一首Watching The Wheels，也是非常之有哲理的一首歌。
Watching the Wheels
People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When I say that I'm o.k. well they look at me kind of strange
Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game
People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
Ah, people asking questions lost in confusion
Well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry
I'm just sitting here doing time
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
(From John Lennon's Album 'Double Fantasy', Copyright ©1980 BMG Music Publ. Ltd.)
到了今天，「頹廢幫」的幫員已經各散東西，大部份都已經成家立室，可能亦頹廢不再。我只能在歌曲中緬懷過去頹廢的日子。
頹廢長存！Long Live TUI FAI！

幫主地位，誰可替代？這是他「拒絕回應」的回應：
Nowhere Man,
As you said being "Head of TUI FAI" I should NOT response.
That's the TRUE spirit of "Being TUI FAI".
But I do appreciate your "BLOG" plot.
May this "TUI FAI" spread like "BLOG Flu", with no cure and no stop!

上yahoo查找"頹廢幫", 發現在台灣居然也有這行檔 (當然與本號無關)!! 若查找"頹廢", 會找到更多有"頹廢"一詞的文章.
我們老頹廢幫是頹廢到底.
Herman, 努力建設頹廢大本營, 加油.

Albert, Sze Tsai Loan (排名不分先後，無論大細): 其實我覺得頹廢一點也不負面，正正是非常正面的人生態度。
註: Sze Tsai Lung最近改名為Sze Tsai Loan，大家請留意。

頹廢是一種積極地消極的人生存取向, 雖沒有"積極不抵抗主義"的情操, 卻有"逼不得已也只得有限度給你榨取點骨氣"的"死魚態度". 頹廢至高境界是太極, 消極的力量已不自覺地在體內運動, 隨意之所至...
頹廢幫員雖散落地球村各個角落, 多有過著普通人的活 (不是'生活'), 但如'耶穌基督最後誘惑'所寫, 人生最寶貴的就是走人生路 (謹記"中國人的最大民主權利是生存"啊!).
頹廢幫長存
好詩分享
秋日偶成 宋‧程顥
閒來無事不從容，睡覺東窗日已紅。
萬物靜觀皆自得，四時佳興與人同。
道興天地有形外，思入風雲變態中。
富貴不淫貧賤樂，男兒到此是豪雄。

Albert, 你看我一點也沒有淡忘我們的「頹廢幫」，劈頭第一篇文章我就向你們致敬。不過正如我所說，除了我們少數幾個，還有多少成員繼續頹廢？
