Thread Name: Not As Good As I Remember It
Subject: RE: Not As Good As I Remember It
My guess is that Big Mick is referring to something along the lines of the wonderful Shel Silverstein song "I Just Don't Look Good Naked Anymore". That certainly is what happened to my body. I really agree with Big Mick regarding music- the stuff that's old that was really great is still really great. When I want the best in Bluegrass I go back to my Kentucky Colonels records. When I want the best in singer-songwriter music I go back to my Paul Siebel records. When I need a fix of old-timey songs I get out the New Lost City Ramblers, etc., etc. But some of the stuff that was really "tied to an era" IS pretty boring today- you had to be there living through the times to "get" what it had to offer. There's always exceptions, of course. On the non-music front, there used to be a candy bar called U-No that was the dreamiest chocolate taste in the world- it just ain't the same today.
