Ef all this shite. Born in the late 50s, child of the 60s, poor as frick backwoods Alabama redneck. Didn’t have an indoor bathroom until I was 7 years old. Took baths in a wash tub in the summer, in the kitchen sink in the winter, outhouse regardless of the weather. Only AC was a floor fan in the window. 3 channels on a black and white tv until I left home at 17. Worked my arse off in the field until I left home at 17 and not for pay. Loved my family but never desired to go back.

Maybe if you come from an upper class family, you’d have had a cool Ritchie Cunningham upbringing, I learned life lessons and how to take care of myself and my family, but would not live that over unless things were different.

You forgot the constant imminent feeling of dread that a nuclear war was going to happen.

And the impending global cooling that we were taught about in school.

I was expecting to see glaciers in La. if I lived long enough.

Probably every middle-class white male feels this way to an extent.

Some of us live many lives in many times.

We find death. Then our energy finds life again.

I have dreams. Of France. The Great War. Artillery shell, guts festooned on the barbed wire.

Of a ship in the Caribbean. Cannon fire sent me into the deep.

It’s a circle.

You can still do everything in that song. It's not like it's about living in the 1500s or something. Song should be called "Midlife Crisis for Whiny, Impotent Baby Boomers Who Vacation in Gulf Shores." And I like Buffett.
