Well it’s D-Day (78 years ago) and there weren’t any notices about it on the local news or the “national” news that came streaming into our abode. Someday maybe history will forget about it completely and maybe we’ll abandoned the whole concept of war as a way of settling disputes over property that we only possess temporarily anyway. However, for now, a salute goes out to those who had their lives forever changed by that event. What I did hear on the news was that The Rolling Stones was opening the “Sixty” tour. Mick and the boys (in their late seventies are cranking it up again much as they have for six decades. It is remarkable that they are still rocking out and that the “rolling” doesn’t mean scooting up a ramp on their Hover-rounds. While I really appreciate their dedication it really makes me wonder if “Time is really On their side” for much longer. I also wonder if they still get the thrills of being rock stars like they did two, three, or four decades ago. I mean if they haven’t gotten any satisfaction by now they probably can’t get no satisfaction. Anyway sometimes in the seeking peace and joy universe you have to stand and salute those who have found a purpose and have persisted in pursuing it for a long time. I’m not looking forward to seeing any concert footage and I’m not confident that any spectacular new music will be produced however, I hope that even if Stones fans Can’t get what they want 60 years in—-they get what they need.
And in terms of Peace and Joy it’s always good to understand that getting what we need to persist can help us understand that we get through without Mother’s little helper until the next day when we sometimes get what we want. Until then make sure that when you’re waiting on a friend you let somebody know you can be a friend and you will be there when somebody else has their 19th nervous breakdown and be kind enough not to tell folks to get off you your cloud.
Well…. Rock on for this Monday and if you are reading this tomorrow night don’t forget to wave good-bye to “ruby” Tuesday….
When Mick Jagger came to the most expensive steakhouse in the TwinCities her ordered a baked potato. That's it--a baked potato. I don't think he even asked for a pat of butter.
