The best bands have good moods too
Sometime this afternoon, the work week won, and I lost. This week had been up and down, sometimes dramatically. In the closing hours, the work kicked my butt. I gave up and rode the subway home with The Replacements in my head: Paul Westerberg yelling Unsatisfied.
A minute or so after I got home, I got a phone call from a loved one. The caller had a terrific day, one that offered promise for the future. Hearing this kind of happiness, this true, reality-fueled happiness, I couldn't help but switch tracks on Let It Be to a happier 'Mats song.
How young are you?
How old am I?
Let's count the rings around my eyes
How smart are you?
How dumb am I?
Don't count any of my advice.
Oh, meet me anyplace or anywhere or anytime
Now I don't care, meet me tonight
If you will dare, I might dare.
