Some folks have the impression that I am merely a cranky old timer ( which is true) tilting at windmills, cooking unhealthy food, and playing the occasional ancient music track. Guilty. Well damn-it those windmills have been out there a long time turning the same unrelenting way. If I'm going to be Quixotic I'm going all in. As for the food I promise you it will taste great right up to the moment of your bypass. Music is the one that stings because we've been using it to divide us. Music is one of the 4 great things in life, along with eating, sleeping, and sex. Wait, sex with a partner makes 5. Anyway, who says it has to be new to be good?
Pretty good and brand spanking new. If you haven't already heard it 50 times on the radio your radio is broken. Old timers couldn't possible be that good could they?
Well of coarse the 60's started the modern era. That's the dividing line right. Similarities are purely intentional. What's 40 years?
Or 80? Why we look for reasons to divide ourselves I will never understand. We could be eating good food, debating whether Piaf was better than Adele, and waiting for opening day. (Go Sox, irony alert, Yankees Suck) Instead we go around looking for reasons to get angry with that other guy. You know, the guy we need to blow up.
Today was pop, but you could do the same thing with any kind of music. Good to know cause it will give me another post someday when I run out of ideas. Maybe I'll do rap next.
