And Ive been

9、 he never became part of the London music scene, Chapman was noticed by those musicians. “The 70s caught up with him in the 80s，” Male says. “He had a huge heart attack at the end of the 80s that nearly finished him off. When he made his way back into the world in the early 90s, people had forgotten
10、 about him.”But not everyone. A younger generation of musicians in America, including Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth and a younger singer and guitarist named Steve Gumi, recently rediscovered Chapman.“We wanted to capture Michaels voice and character where he is now. You know, its a little roadweary,
11、 but he still has it，” Gunn says. “For me, it was really important to get that right.” “Hes the right old musician for present times，” Male says. “I think the music he makes seems quite in tune with where were at.”语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位吉他演奏老艺术家Chapman的演艺经历以及新一代吉他演奏家Steve Gumi认为Chapman创作的音乐和他们现在所处的环境很
