Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[GonePlaid]

I'm old, grumpy, and-so far, at least-outliving some of my R&R heroes.

 

[beans-on-toast]

I'm grumpy and old, but quick!

That can come with age, unfortunately.

 

[GonePlaid]

That can come with age, unfortunately.

Or not at all. Equally unfortunately.

 

[GwenOnBass]

Oh wow I love pre-Rumours Fleetwood Mac.

Watched a live interview Friday night with David Crosby. Very grateful he's with us.

 

[SoulReflection]

That can come with age, unfortunately.

I am quickly becoming older and grumpier...

 

[Charlie Tango]

I am quickly becoming older and grumpier...

I remember my mother telling me when I was a kid that I'd complain if they hung me with a new rope, so it apparently didn't require me getting older to get grumpier; looks like I brought it with me!

One of the comments under one of those videos said something like "I hate it when I bring up Fleetwood Mac and someone mentions Stevie Nicks"

Kiln House is one of those Fleetwood Mac oddities that I hold very close. It's a post Peter Green effort and one song in particular .... but we're talking Peter Green and I often play along with the Peter Green Splinter Group. When I'm playing along, that is. What I'm doing right now is something else again. But I don't have a slide.

I have that album somewhere at home.

I've always like this one when from Bob Welch was in the band:

They could be really far out

Oh yeah, I remember this one, another great tune. I really liked that Bob Welch stuff with them.

Now it seems to me there is a discussion of what we have worn / will wear again? on stage. And some discussion of Annie Oakley's ill-begotten wages of sin Talks to an Empty Chair Guy. So it would seem today I ran a touch of laundry for my rauna, gifted me by a Colombian friend these 40 years ago. It is not a Sears poncho! What it is is right here, drying in the sunshine

Forgive my pedantry, but....since we share a fear and loathing for typos etc.....that garment is a ruana. Abi the wife brought a couple back when she returned from Bogota in '69, and again in '90.

ah yes well seen. Very useful thing to own. Mine's been with me practically anywhere. And not once mistaken for Clint Eastwood, or for Wendy O. Williams. I've other uses for band aids.

In this case I really appreciate your pedantry, mikie. I wondered what a village in Latvia had to do Ms. M's posts? Now I feel sane again! But it won't last. It never does. (sigh)

Gonna say when I wear the garment I get noticed. And worn it on stage as appropriate for my hippie band in a particular lens of time. What may be odd, if anything, is no photographs of me so attired exist, to the best of my knowledge.

The kind of notice I get, I notice, depends a great deal on who is seeing me. Folks latch on to all kinds of wrong ideas.

I've no doubt of your ability to set misconceptions straight.
