Notes of a Graying Rock and Roll Fan
I remember the Beatles
and the first
time I heard
Sergeant Pepper's
I remember the Doors
and associate them
with my sexual awakening
The Association, the Turtles and the Happenings
made such sweet harmonies
I have now expanded my tastes
and listen to classical, folk, jazz and standards
But I associate the
power of rock and roll
with youthful energy
My keyboard and harmonica standing
in my apartment stand as a testament
to my taste
I lay back and listen to the radio tonight
"Another Saturday Night and I ain't got nobody"
There is a song for every mood if you look for it
There is even a recording called "Too Old to Rock and Roll -
Too Young to Die"
The years will have their say
And all songs come to an end
But like phoenixes
we rise each day
With a song in your heart
you can't go wrong
Anyone out here want to join me in song?
