Cars are an expensive pain in the butt. It was time to do some maintenance on the Honda, but the nearest Honda dealer is in St Cloud, so I had to get up early and drive across the state on icy snowy roads to get it serviced. They were quick and bounced me right back on the road to head home again.
I don’t do much driving any more, so this was an opportunity to while away the miles playing old tunes. For some reason, I fired up my old collection of 60s and 70s music. Joan Baez! Laura Nyro!
I got fury in my soul, fury’s gonna take me to the glory goal
In my mind I can’t study war no more
Save the people, save the children
Save the country, save the country, save the country
I think we need to bring back the 60s — the hippies had the right idea. Sure, they were a little vague on how to save the country, but we’ve had over 50 years to think on it. I’m sure we’ve got a plan by now, right?
Several years ago the jackass ex of one of my daughters thought that he would insult me by calling me “an aging hippie”.
I smiled and proudly told him “I resemble that remark!”
I consider myself a ‘retired Deadhead’. Still have the spirit, just not the energy I used to have…
POTUS-elect has concepts of a plan for how to save the country.
I’m not “aging”, I’m aged.
Everybody should drink Coca-Cola.
I dunno about bringing back the 60s in music. The 90s maybe.
As for Joan Baez, Judas Priest did a decent rendition of “Diamonds and Rust”.

Some of the best work Don Draper ever did.
I can’t help but wonder though…how many people who loved this song in 1969 ended up voting for The Orange One fifty years later?
chigau @4: I’m both!
I’m tired of seeing the word “boomer” everywhere. Surf to one of my favorites news feeds and boomer appears in at least two headlines. Now if I could only stop clicking on them, I just may be able to trick AI and the algorithms into thinking I’m not a boomer.
