Rowan Cocoan OMG! It looks likely true! SOTT: A Link? THANKS!
If that is true - well, I don't give a damn anymore about betraying the fact I'm over 60 - SOTTfolk? Do you remember this song? [Link]
(if not earlier - e.g., 4/81 or 11/63,, 12/41, or 12/1913.) (I might have misremembered/mystyped the lyrics.)

Something is wrong here; doesn't belong here, people are locking themselves behind their own four walls; no one's surprised here; maybe that's the saddest part of all.
"And they tell me, a friend is dying, and there's nothing in this world that I can do. "America, 1776-2021 RIP*

Rowan Cocoan thanks for that song, I hadn't heard it before....and that's me being a music geek from about age 10..
balboa schwartz I was born in the late 50's. I thought you were close to my age. No? (Don't worry, I won't hold it against you. )
I was of course (like you, I bet) well aquainted with music that was far older than I should have been familiar with*, but our friends all seemed to have had big brothers - we'd watch them go off to Vietnam and worry, with good cause - and sisters, etc.**
I think that you're a musician, but I forget. I'd guess you are - Lord knows that I know that you're a legit audiophile, which such belief has actually has played a role in this reply. (As I type that, I've gotta guess that you're the oldest male sibling?)***

*For example, I was well familiar with the Who's Tommy after it got released, and even BEFORE when Who's Next came out. (1971 - I was 12.)
**Back then, down here on the what is now known as 'The Space Coast', almost ALL of us were born in California and/or right here working on early rocket launches. Our dads were pretty much all WWII or Korea vets* working at our space centers (KSC or CCAFS) to the point that it was almost a point of shame if one's dad had not so served. (Mums who were WACS or WAVES ot Red Cross, etc. was a plus.)
*** I got that wrong, I apologize. How's the transition going? Can you get me a four on the floor Herst tranny?*
(WTF ever - I 'think of'** I've got that song playing and those words came up there. (I was listening to that song - which always makes me cry - and I've not heard it in a long time! - I'd be ashamed to say around 'my peeps' but, hey, this is SOTT...
***
*You can't have tyranny without tranny.
Edit time running out and I fear that footnotes are screwed up; I trust you'll be able to handle it. (SOTTfolk, hello! Comments always welcome!)
