Today, this is my favourite song. And today I walked for two hours.
This is, I think, one of those days I will spend the rest of my life trying to forget and which my children will always ask about--the day JFK was assassinated, my grandfather dying in a plane crash, the moon landing, my grandmother's remarriage, Vietnam, the Summit Series, John Lennon.
So I wrote something for these kids that probably won't ever exist.
and i'm lying to you
because i love you.
it was just a day
you know
a day
you get up you breathe
you eat and
it's a day.
the news, sure, the news
from yesterday
but you don't really think
about it when
it's
happening
mostly
it's always happening.
those days
not so different
from today
the world doesn't change
you know.
the world doesn't change.
although things
can always
get worse.
i could tell you
about video cassettes
and tape cassettes
those are funny stories
and nobody dies in those stories.
no, there was no censorship.
we saw what happened
what happened
we saw
that.
of course it was about the kurds
why else
why
why not.
i don't know. i
didn't really follow
politics
that much
it wasn't really my thing.
i'm telling you
what happened
i'm telling you
because i love you.
Bye.
ps: Happy birthday, Rob, you greedy sonofagun.
