Another song that has been in a semi-continuous loop in my head. It all began with the final scene of the final Sopranos episode. I was nuts about Little Feat during the Lowell George era. The clip below is now thirty years old. (Shit.)
I was twenty. (Sigh.)
Odd days continue. Everyone around me seems increasingly world-weary, even the ones that are good at the denial stuff. And "experts" wonder why drug and alcohol use has increased steadily? Please.
Some recent, random observations:
Everyone is suddenly a pirate. Why? Pop culture cracks me up.
Spectators at drag racing exhibitions should always sit in the nosebleed seats.
Dogs get better treatment than far too many human beings. Here's proof.
Pedal pushers are clearly out of control in this society.
Do women wear pants anymore?

Geez, I wore white overalls like that.
How 'bout that last episode? I thought it was great that it was just another episode in the on-going tale. It goes on and on.
Yes, we are world weary. It's that time in our lives, and hard to believe that we were young and hopeful once.
Let's ride the surf to the shore.
It hit me a bit hard the other day when my younger son was going to his 10th year reunion...
I don't feel that old!

tara-i loved overalls, and wore them for at least a decade!
the last of the sopranos was great, i thought. i am of the group that believes the dark screen meant lights out for tony. i will sure miss that series.
it isn't just the getting older that's been giving me the blues. sadly, i pay close attention to the state of things around the world, and that can be an emotional burden. information overload is detrimental!
hi alan... yes, the passage of time is clear. just look at how our families have grown up! you of all people do not seem old-you never stop!
How true and LF were truly a great live act!
PF was a neighbor and we both worked at the paper, different depts, obviously.
Halloween, he has a casket sitting in his garage and he lays in it and pops out when people take a look inside. Not sure if he's doing it anymore.
I'm with you. I recently told my 75 yr old Dad, that if my time came, I wouldn't resist. The world is just too crazy and out of control anymore and nothing is making sense, and it's too scary! ; (
World-weary. That's it, annie. I look around at the prospects for changes in 2008, and what do I see, but Hillary Clinton and maybe Fred Thompson, or worse, Mitt Romney. We've got to do better than this, but I'm world weary too.
Ar-Ar-Arrrrr!

I'm not sure the "younger" generation even knows what we mean by "pedal pushers" any more. But, I'd rather see women in these than in short-shorts. Euuwww. For that matter, I'd rather be in pedal pushers than in shorts! It's too hot around here to wear long pants, and I just don't have the legs for shorts.
Hey, we do what we can, aye mate?
I'm that fat man in the bath tub.
Feats!
Aloha!
