Where Have All the Flowers Gone?

This will tear your heartstrings ... Peter Paul and Mary with Pete Seeger .. "genesis of the soul".

This is heartbreaking...

I just went to watch a much much earlier video of them performing the same song:

The same and yet different faces...the same and yet different audience...

And seeing Mary Travers in the above video shift and lean on her walking stick - my heartstring was well and truly torn...

Somedays I feel like I am getting there myself ...

We are all getting there, TS, one way or another, sooner or later...

But some old geezers seem to hang on interminably; admirable in itself, but can be hellish with their crusty grating character which rather than mellow with age, instead seems to have sharpened in their dotage...

I dunno whether its true what they say about 'no country for old men', but as for myself, definitely NO walking sticks for me.

I still think:
"Its better to burn out, than to fade away."

And more than ever, am determined to "go down in a blaze of glory."

Hear hear.

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
