Holding on to yesterday

Catatonic

Nine Lives
... the days when things were simpler, were the best days of our lives in my opinion.

Man we were killin time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin can last forever - forever, no

And now the times are changin
Look at everything thats come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong

Standin on your mamas porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

Back in the summer of 69

Johnny Carson one of my favorites.

Steve Allen was on a few years before Carson . He was the original host of the Tonight Show. Jack Parr was in between Allen and Carson but I never did like him. It was always a let down when the show was over because you knew what came next--The National Anthem followed by the station going off the air.

Remember how exciting it was to watch an Apollo rocket go up?

Nobody cares about that stuff anymore.

I can remember crowding 2 or 3 classes into a classroom to watch either a mercury or gemini launch.

Anybody remember a TV show called "You asked for it" ?

This topic is really making me feel old!!:sad-very:
