God how I miss the 60's and 70's.😔

[Bob Cat]

Let me set the table:

 

It's Sat morning and you've had your fill of Hanna-Barbara and Cap'n-Crunch.  Alarmed by your parents rustling in the master suite, you quietly sneak out of the house so you're not hit with the list of things you're going to help with around the house.

 

Grab the bike and out the garage pass door you go 'cause you can't risk opening the garage door and blowing your cover.

Around the neighborhood you ride, looking for any sign of life.  Your buddies older sister's out grabbing the paper for her folks, in her nighty.  Bonus.

 

After a few hours of nonsense, it's time for lunch so a poll goes out to determine who's mom's fixing lunch, and if it's any good.

 

"Bobcat, your mom called and wants you home, immediately."  $%&#@!  "Guys, I'll be back."

 

Chores done, and "get the h3!! outta here" blessings from pops, you're back on the road.

It's a hot day and there's a group of kids popping tar bubbles on the road with their bare feet.  "Hey, idiots, let's ride!"

 

Nothing else in the breeze but your hair and GREAT music wafting from teenagers cars and some hip moms kitchen window.

 

8 hours of absolute magic and freedom... before the street lights say it's time to head home.

 

You sleep like a kodiac bear cub... cause summer break just began.

The way the world is now, that sounds like heaven.

WE ARE A GENERATION THAT WILL NEVER COME BACK.

A generation that walked to school and then walked back.

A generation that did their homework alone to get out asap to play in the street.

A generation that spent all their free time in the streets with their Friends.

A generation that played hide and seek when dark.

A generation that collected sports cards.

A generation that found, collected and washed & Returned empty coke bottles to the local grocery store for 5 cents each.

A generation that made paper toys with their bare hands.

A generation who bought vinyl albums to play on record players.

A generation that collected photos and albums of clippings of their life experiences as a Kid.

A generation that played board games and cards on rainy days.

A generation whose TV went off at midnight after playing the National Anthem.

A generation that had parents who were there.

A generation that laughed under the covers in bed so parents didn't know we were still awake.

A generation that is passing and unfortunately it will never return no matter how hard we try.

I loved Growing up when I did. it was the best of times.

I wasn't a city boy so it was the horse and buggy to school for me.

When I was in grade school we farmed and we lived down a 3/4 mile lane. There were times my dad would meet the bus at the end of our lane when we were snowed in through a field with a tractor .

^ Heard Dennis DeYoung once say that he didn't care for that album cover art but grew to appreciate it in later years.

Love the first tune, but the second one was one of the few GFR songs I did not care for. 

 

1/2 a like for the Q man.  😄
