Mood: party time!
Now Playing: Stella Blue-the Grateful Dead
Topic: Golden Children
I was going to talk about thee whole Golden Birthday thing, but my friend Fleesh-EEE showed up and we went to what is now my personal favorite restaurant in Eugene, The Laughing Planet. I'm still full because I couldn't stop eating it! (ps-it's well within my meager budget as well which makes it a double bonus!)
Let's get back to the biz-The story goes that when your birthday age matches the date of your birthday then it is a "golden birthday." It just so happened that the year 1995 found Dylan turning 4 on February 4-Trevor turned 6 on September 6-and I turned 31 on December 31. That is also the year that I was 30-the Grateful Dead was celebrating their 30th year as well, and there were shirts and stickers with a line from a song called Stella Blue.
"all the years combine, they melt into a dream."under the lyrics were the dates 1965-1995. Since my birthday is December 31, 1964-this was my entire life span. When I would see them go by I kept saying " AAAAAAGH!! It's my life flashing(back?)before my eyes! Of course that was also the last tour that Jerry made it through. We'll go there later as well. Are you on the bus, or off the bus? (your rocker?) (the beaten path?)...
