FRIDAY RANDOM TEN

This Friday finds me back at Chez Elisson after a week in various parts of Texas. It’s good to be back home, reunited with the Missus after we went our separate ways from Foat Wuth Monday afternoon: I to Sweat City, she to the ATL.

And, because it is Friday, it is time for the Friday Random Ten, that Miscellaneous Mixed-Up Morass o’ Music from the Magical Machine, AKA the iPod d’Elisson:

1. Way Back In The 1960s - The Incredible String Band
   
   This is a nostalgic look back at the 1960’s from the viewpoint of someone who “was a young man” back then. What makes it interesting is that it was written in 1967...
   
   I was a young man back in the 1960s.
   Yes, you made your own amusements then,
   For going to the pictures;
   Well, the travel was hard, and I mean
   We still used the wheel.
   But you could sit down at your table
   And eat a real food meal.
   
   But hey, you young people, well I just do not know,
   And I can’t even understand you
   When you try to talk slow.
   
   There was one fellow singing in those days,
   And he was quite good, and I mean to say that
   His name was Bob Dylan, and I used to do gigs too
   Before I made my first million.
   That was way, way back before,
   before wild World War Three,
   When England went missing,
   And we moved to Paraguay-ee.
   
   But hey, you young people, I just do not know,
   And I can’t even understand you
   When you try to talk slow.
   
   Well, I got a secret, and don’t give us away.
   I got some real food tins for my 91st birthday,
   And your grandmother bought them
   Way down in the new antique food store,
   And for beans and for bacon, I will open up my door.
   
   But hey, you young people, well I just do not know,
   And I can’t even understand you
   When you try to talk slow.
   
   Well, I was a young man back in the 1960s.
