My wife says I like ’em all. And I guess I do! I love so much of the OLD rock n’ roll. And love Bob Seger! Great, great music!
His above picture puts me back in ‘the day’ => Men walking around with unashamedly long hair. I’m wearing my hair long now (2019) because I still protest. To me, long hair on a man will always be a rebellious statement => a protest against the machine, a right ‘to be’. Long live the counter-culture dream in the minds of men.
The counter culture wasn’t all a bad thing as depicted by the revisionist press. The period wasn’t all about sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll (well perhaps mostly 😎), but listen… there was a freshly-stirring awareness… a sense of real community. There was a growing sense of fellowship and common purpose. There was a re-born instinct about trying to do the right thing. That atmosphere has all but since disappeared. It’s been downhill ever since in my estimation.
We knew way back when during dinosaur days that something wasn’t right => but… “What it is, ain’t exactly clear… there’s a man with a gun over there… telling me I got to beware. Think it’s time we stopped, children… what’s that sound… everybody look what’s goin’ down.” => Buffalo Springfield. Yeah, baby!
Rock n’ roll ROCKS my soul. It makes me feel good! It excites me! It shakes me up inside and yet, at times, can also greatly amuse and pacify me! It inspires me! It makes me want to “twist and shout.” It makes me want to dance (wife is going: “oh no… no… no… not that! He’s gonna’ hurt himself again! Please! Somebody get him off his horse!”)
She could be right you know, Marvin. Marvin: I know it!
