It was a shock when I met an old dude who took it all so seriously. The same shock I got when I heard library assistants in my local library talking about Oasis, the rock band. Not pleasant shocks, if there is such a thing as a pleasant shock.Maolsheachlannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09406722311993627528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091756463128804432.post-23668282418709117712020-02-19T01:01:27.122-08:002020-02-19T01:01:27.122-08:00It's not uncommon to spot an ageing pedestrian...It's not uncommon to spot an ageing pedestrian who still sports long hair,despite having little of grey or greying keratin at all, wearing a new-looking tshirt of a 60s or 70s band. I would have thought most were pro-Yoko,but it's good not to pigeonhole characters too much.<br />A song,or collection of songs,one hears when young can indeed encapsule the mind and emotions of an era for that person,whether it's been a favourite throughout or a rediscovery,as it usually is in my case when I chance to hear it again after decades. Not sure that I base my politics on it though. Séamusnoreply@blogger.com
