As my mind continues to vomit forth remnants of my life:
MTV was brand new, A guy I knew had cable TV, I went over, met this girl, and had a relationship that affected the rest of my eternity. Unfortunately, she did not survive. We had horrid times, we had great times, We were in love, we were in hate. 30 years I could call her up, she'd come to me, no matter what her circumstances were. Musta been hell on the other guys.
Anyway, to give an idea of how times change, this was "our song"
Decades go by. I laugh when I see people that fall out of a relationship and need another one before the week is out. bunch of kitty-cats. Y'all cracking me up. Anyway, the first video is the one associated with my much appreciated, and much loved wife, Betty. Wild thing indeed. She wasn't a great teacher, but from her I learned to let a person be themself.
The second video is the one I associate with my present wife. "our song"
See how times change, even the songs are still old? When I was in my early 30's it was a feeling of love, but edgy. In my 60's, it about love with a sense of permanence, even beyond time and space as I define it. My space in eternity, my representation in history, to be part of someone important. For once, love isn't just about me.I did like it when it was all about me, yeah. But, I like it when it's all about "us" Time moves forward, you have to adapt. It's good to be alive.
