It's strange how sometimes...It is a wonderful song. It's strange how sometimes a moment in your past embeds itself firmly in your memory.<br /><br />This song takes me back to 1968, driving up William Street, Sydney as a young man of 20. We had said goodbye to some GI's who were on RandR, and were headed back. We had hosted them, partied with them and shared some beers. They were good company, and the mother of one of them wrote to us, thanking us for our friendship. I guess they may have expected hostility.<br /><br />Those words of that song bring that particular moment in time right back. Hope those guys made it home safely.Ayrdalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12277759681727009183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082887.post-3548351991318942812009-05-11T10:22:00.000-07:002009-05-11T10:22:00.000-07:00I did a term paper in English once on poetry--and ...<I>I did a term paper in English once on poetry--and it was all lyrics from S&G</I>I can see that.
