So here we go.......A blog. Who would have guessed? What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?
Arriving kicking and complaining in the 21st century......
A caveat to the young ones who have 'friended' me on Facebook, these are the musings of an older friend caught in a time warp tonight. Read with caution. But if you are lucky, you also will be 62 one day! Thinking about some concert that took place when you were 18........ .............currently watching KQED's Paul McCartney concert at Citi Field (go Mets!) in 2009, "Good Evening New York City": time has wrapped itself around and inside out for me. 44 yrs ago The Beatles were in Flushing Meadows. I was in nursing school. Wow, that went fast....... I was not at this concert. My main claim to fame in those days is that I walked out of the Janis Joplin concert at Forest Hills, as I thought she was just screeching and had no talent. Oops..... Since then, the song "Yesterday" has been recorded by 2200 artists and performed 2 million times,' they' say. Must be figured out by someone who also does baseball statistics.. This concert fuses Paul McCartney, at near 70, with the young boy he was, with his comrades, in 1966, the screaming girls, the now bald drummer, then and now. Hard to keep track on the film what is then and what is now. Just like life (I warned you!) at this age. Sargeant Pepper's Yesterday calling Hey Jude, to us all, just Let it be...... In the language of my youth. what a trip!
Well, allrighty then.... Great entry into the "blog world"!!!! And "what a long, strange trip it's been", to quote the Grateful Dead, I think..
ReplyDeleteAnd one that I would not have missed for the world, big sister..and the journey is just getting better..with a loooooong ways to go!
I think a blog is a good thing for you..to tell your great stories of your rather eclectic life out there on the Left Coast. You are a pretty good storyteller, too!
I just love the last line, with all the Beatle song titles woven into a philosophical entry...cool!
