From the desk of Jane Galt:The 19-year old isn't in
The 19-year old isn't in the office today, so we're listening to the classic rock station, which seems to be trying to develop an "All Pink Floyd, All the Time" theme. It reminds me of that fake album commercial on Saturday Night Live: "You loved Stairway to Heaven once. . . you'll love it even more seventy five times, as recorded by our top recording artists. . . " I've heard no fewer than four songs from the Wall, plus standards like "Wish You Were Here".
Ahhhh. . . remember the days when listening to "Comfortably Numb" made you feel like you were really deep? When SD&RR were more than just a hobby? When you thought it was possible to be a Pulitzer Prize winning novelist and a supermodel? Sigh . . .
Meanwhile, just in case I wasn't feeling old enough, a friend sends me a this article, presumably designed to help me beat the biological clock. Is that a hint, Matt?
Update Stairway to Heaven just came on. All I need is a pack of Camel Lights and some Mad Dog and the flashback to 1989 will be complete.
