I wish I were an optimist so (big and) long I could teach your feet otherwise.

But it dosen’t get any better at 32, 42, 52 (that’s as far as I know, so far).

And so, at Woodstock, when I “trashed the establishment” and hoped to “die before I got old”, I thought I knew myself, but I had not yet really faced that river and the long skate ahead.

I am a grandfather now and I wish I had a river much longer than I fear there is left for me.

I only have a minute and 14 seconds of it, but I love it love it love it. Who knew he could sing too?!??

And p.s. that IS a great song, isn’t it?! Have you heard the Robert Downey Jr. version??
