>*What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?*

A song:
>*Some people will work /*
>*Some simply will not /*
>*But they'll complain, and complain, and complain, and complain, and complain.*

>*Some people must have /*
>*Some NEVER WILL! /*
>*But they'll complain, and complain, and complain, and complain, and complain.*

Today, it's feeling like:
Add your own.. It's just that I kept thinking of this cartoon while I was trying to get through a website.

>*You, my friend, are a victim of disorganized thinking. You are under the unfortunate impression that just because you run away you have no courage; you're confusing courage with wisdom.*

Indeed! I remember the first time I saw the movie in the St Louis Park Theater, and folks in the audience ducked when the Empire's ship came in!

>There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly. The... the other important joke, for me, is one that's usually attributed to Groucho Marx; but, I think it appears originally in Freud's "Wit and Its Relation to the Unconscious," and it goes like this - I'm paraphrasing - um, "I would never want to belong to any club that would have someone like me for a member." That's the key joke of my adult life, in terms of my relationships with women.

>Olivia Walton: What's that you got in your hand?
>John-Boy: It's a present, Mama, from Miss Mamie and Miss Emily.
>Olivia Walton: Bootleg whiskey. Don't those crazy old women know I don't allow whiskey in this house? I've got young children in this house! What sort of example do they think we set here? You take it out yonder and pour it on the ground!
>John-Boy: It's not whiskey, Mama, it's egg nog.
>Olivia Walton: I ought to be ashamed of myself..
Anyone who plays the variety of great characters that she's played is a great actress.

A sound from/of the Sixties era? I don't know if I can keep it to one. These always comes to mind:
Buffalo Springfield:
Crosby, Stills, and Nash:
I love the Beach Boys, Beatles (in fact most of the British Invasion), Elvis, Motown, and all. But for myself and both my brothers, it was a different time. I look back on it, and I believe 1970 was a watershed for so much of it. But it was building through the sixties. Then, after the fall of Saigon, musically we had "Disco" Go figure.
