“Days That Used To Be”
Neil Young and Crazy Horse
People say don’t rock the boat,
let things go their own way
Ideas that once seem so right,
now have gotten hard to say
I wish I could talk to you,
you could talk to me
‘Cause there’s very few of us left
my friend
From the days that used to be.
Seem like such a simple thing
to follow one’s own dream
But possessions and concession
are not often what they seem
They drag you down
and load you down
in disguise of security.
But we never had
to make those deals
In the days that used to be.
Talk to me, my long lost friend,
tell me how you are
Are you happy with
your circumstance,
are you driving a new car
Does it get you where you wanna go,
with a seven year warranty
Or just another
hundred thousand miles away
From days that used to be.
Cath is coming down this week and kind of wishing I’d gone to Chochella maybe next year …did you see the line up for Desert trip this year…not really interested in seeing hardly any of these yahoos …getting to head north to Pismo and then Mendicino for a couple of weeks end of may then back to Skykomish River house been having lots of booking and going to be busy summer Cath and I are going to Glacier and the Banff in canada for July Hope all is well in your neck of woods and check out Neil young just released amazing …has him with Devo and Booji Boy wowowo
I think Desert Trip last year was a once in a lifetime thing. I doubt we’ll ever see anything like it again. Rolling Stone seems to agree:

Man, I sure am glad I went. Because it was great. And I met you and Cathy!
