到最後，牛頓-約翰女士堅信她對觀眾友好的音樂方法。 “當人們認為因為它是商業性的，所以它很糟糕時，這讓我很惱火，”她告訴滾石雜誌。 “這是完全相反的。 如果人們喜歡它，那就應該是這樣。”
To the end Ms. Newton-John firmly believed in her audience-friendly approach to music. “It annoys me when people think because it’s commercial, it’s bad,” she told Rolling Stone. “It’s completely opposite. If people like it, that’s what it’s supposed to be.”

Newton-John's advocacy for health issues was presaged by her prior involvement with many humanitarian causes. Newton-John cancelled a 1978 concert tour of Japan to protest the slaughter of dolphins caught in tuna fishing nets.[109] She subsequently rescheduled the tour when the Japanese government assured her that the practice was being curbed.[110] Her concern for these "beautifully evolved creatures" (as she called them in the Warm and Tender liner notes) is also expressed in the 1981 self-penned piece, "The Promise (the Dolphin Song)", described as "one of the most tender, heartfelt vocals of the singer's career."[110] Newton-John said that "The Promise" (from Physical) was inspired by (and even channelled by) dolphins she met at Sea Life Park in Hawaii and attested: "It was strange. The morning after I was in the pools, I woke up and the words and melody were in my head. I think it was a gift from them."[82]
Newton-John 之前參與的許多人道主義事業預示著她對健康問題的倡導。 牛頓-約翰取消了 1978 年的日本巡迴演唱會，以抗議金槍魚漁網捕獲的海豚遭到屠殺。 [109] 當日本政府向她保證這種做法正在被遏制時，她隨後重新安排了行程。 [110] 她對這些“美麗進化的生物”（正如她在溫暖而溫柔的襯裡筆記中所說的那樣）的關注也表達在 1981 年的自寫曲目“承諾（海豚之歌）”中，被描述為“最 [110] Newton-John 說，“The Promise”（來自 Physical）的靈感來自於她在夏威夷海洋生物公園遇到的海豚（甚至被引導），並證明：“這是 奇怪。我在游泳池後的第二天早上醒來，腦海裡浮現出歌詞和旋律。我認為這是他們的禮物。”[82] GOOGLE 翻譯

我幾年前注意到，美國康乃爾大學，將其創校約150年的"校刊/校報"都電子化了，所以我們可以在台灣查胡適之先生大學生時發表的文章。反觀我國的某校，也有不少的胡適之先生資料，不過都是"待挖掘"的，一般人也不知道它們藏在哪，圖書館都找不到。
下周三，我有一場紀念唐津 一先生的演說，所以請文杰幫忙找出它。
