Van Halen - Don't Tell Me (What Love Can Do)

I don't think being comfortable is the true goal for me in my life. I will never understand the concept of being comfortable. Ben Hogan said, "There is always something left to work on." It seems to me that any worthwhile pursuit initially takes more than it gives. Once "a" goal is reached, there needs to be another goal. To reach a milestone, for example, it may take 8 goals reached along with years of mid-morning mudslides with balding tires before someone hits their mark. Another person may come right out of the gate and find his or her way. In any case, no matter what the goals are, no matter what is trying to be achieved, in the end it will be the process that will be remembered most. And the deepest part of such a process involves only the memories you have never shared with anyone... but yourself.

There was a time in life where there was still a bastion of freedom left... the kind of freedom that was not so tightly controlled. It is in times of social distress that the worlds finest art is created.

On The Run

Sometimes, it's the thoughts that stem from the words and images we see that foster along a new attitude, one that encompasses everything we are and everything we aspire to be as individual people.

The Fixx - Stand Or Fall -- HQ Audio - LYRICS

The seventies were owned by Led Zeppelin. So let's say the average age of the kids in those audiences at that time was 19. Let's say at any one show during that decade there was an average of 10,000 people with more than a few repeats. Let's pick one year, say 1975. So that means in 1975 there was a nineteen year old chick in the audience who would today be 62 and more than eligible for grandmother age. If you keep your eyes open, you can spot them in TRW, in your town. While a significant proportion of these chicks were taken in by the expectations and dress and ways of being and looking and talking and behaving being conscious about family, the future, retirement, socking away cash, investing, saving... the whole 9.... and hey, for them I have no doubts they played the roles they wanted to play, many of these chicks, now 62 on average, are living in much the same ways they did when they were attending shows like this. Many no doubt are no longer with us. But at the end of the day, once everybody's chips are being counted, tell me, somebody please tell me what does it matter? And therefore what does it really mean to be successful in this short and sweet life? I know what success isn't!
