Not Looking Back...

An ad during the presidential campaign got us on the subject of Rush. We talked about some favorite songs and I recalled one that was later in their library, but still respectable—before they put on water skis, if you know what I mean.

Time Stand Still was a late night anthem that my friends and I sang together when we were no more than 22. We were thoughtful and sentimental, despite our youth. We had important and sometimes passionate conversations about the world around us, which, amusingly, mean nothing today. Just as today's dialogues will be forgotten or irrelevant tomorrow.

Time does not stand still as we may have wished for it to do back then. When our lives and futures were so straightforward. When our moments of revelation seemed so mindful; so authentic; so astute.

We knew nothing. Just so you know. ;)

      Hmmm, technology has changed a little...
