If you recognize those lyrics then undoubtedly we can relate on some level.
With all my heart I believe that there was no better decade to have been born into than the 50's. I would not trade it for having 30 years shaved off of my age or anything else. I love that I can remember 11/22/63. I love that I can remember where I was on 7/20/69. I only wish I had been old enough to attend Woodstock that same summer. I once had a roommate that did however. That's as close as I came. Robin, who was about 5 years older than myself, and his CAT attended Woodstock. LOL.
There are times...such as tonight...drinking Tequila, celebrating my 53rd birthday, and listening to songs from that era...that I am almost spiritually and psychically transcended back to that time. Little did we know that it was such an incredibly amazing time to be discovering the world. Is it any wonder that in years to come there would be a TV show that would actually REFER to those years AS "The Wonder Years"?
I feel truly blessed. I feel that being born and growing up when I did gave me some sort of an advantage. A more open mind and spirit and ability to remain in touch with my "inner child". I don't know...maybe a big part of that really has to do with who I am as an individual. But I know that the individual that I am was greatly influenced by the era that I grew up in and everything that I was exposed to during those incredible and amazing years from about 1967 until 1974.
Anyway, time for me to "split the scene" I guess. Those of you with parents or grandparents born between 1950 and 1960?... Hold fast to whatever they impart to you from their "wonder years". What we hold near and dear to us from our youth shall pass and fade away in the blink of an eye...at least with respect to first hand knowledge.
