Rock n roll is roughly 70 years old. When I began really, really paying attention to it – it was less than 30 years old.
Shiiiiit.
With rock being approximately 70, there’s a lot of anniversaries to celebrate these days. 10, 20, 25, 40, 50, 60 years, etc. One of my very favorite albums, The Beatles’ “Help!” will turn 60 this year. Sixty years.
Fuuuck.
I love this song, and it was released 20 years ago this year. I still think of it as “new.” “Yeah, it’s one of them ‘newer’ songs. Great new group, obviously inspired by Joy Division and the Chameleons. Kids these days… “
I write about the terrifying acceleration of time a lot; perhaps there’s something wrong with my head. Maybe there’s something going on. Both?
