Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
If ever you think about the happiest days of your life / Cast back your mind for a while / And remember the time when you were a child / Don’t think of things that make you sad / Just remember all the good times that you had
Do you remember only happy days / Full of flaming Junes and summer holidays? / Or do you remember those stormy Novembers / As we walked in the wind and the rain? / Schooldays were such happy days / Now they seem so far away / I remember and I’ll always treasure / Schooldays were the happiest days of your life / But we never appreciate the good times we have / Until it’s too late
Sarcastically, I’ve titled my life’s journey, “A funny thing happened on the way to the Great Western Forum!” And while the Idelic Hour was on a pause for an extended Memorial Day week, something big happened. Our guy Jonah graduated from High School!
I’ve often compared raising Jonah as rolling a boulder over a mountain top. Well, we made it, and looking back at the kid’s high school years it’s been a crazy, surreal ride. Not sure where time flies too, but for the last 50+ years, every June I’ve dropped “School’s Out” on my turntable and felt free as a bird.
Long live rock ‘n’ roll, long live the Sidels.
Idelic Single of the Week: Westside Cowboy – Kick Stones (The Boys)
High School just blew by.
