Dazed & Confused, Spirit of '76?

Where are we now?  Some are dead.  Some are bald, gray, and surely we're not as skinny, and hard as we used to be.  Most of us opted out of the "Boss/Capitalist" game that earlier and later generations have come to embrace with both greedy arms.   You won't find many of us among the "tea party," but we're still at our own kinda trippy "tea party, " and listening to our music really really loud (sorry kids).

#1 song of 1976.  We may not be the "Greatest Generation" like our moms and dads, but this song speaks volumes as to what a cool and chill generation we were/ still are.  Happy 4th to you '76 ers out there reading this today... esp. Parker, Mame, Emma, and Claire.

Truly, the "Greatest Generation" ever*!!! Weiner's need not apply.


Happy Father's Day, Dad.  Yea, my cool old man (gone but certainly not forgotten) served in the Army Air Force during WWII.  I just can't see him up there amongst the heavenly hosts today...I see him as he really was--recovering at the Biltmore in Coral Cables, FL...
...drinking rum and Coca Cola, holding court poolside at the Biltmore w/his pals, and some nice gals from the USO.


Happy Father's Day to the best, bravest, funniest, and handsomest Dad, ever... 

*May I suggest for your viewing pleasure today "Saving Private Ryan," "Band of Brothers," "The Pacific."
