Living v Rock ‘n’ Roll

We do not go out looking for things to fill our lives. We just get on with living. The key is – I suppose – that it all lies in the routine ordinary days. It lies in all that stuff you try to escape from when you are young. All that stuff that is put down and derided in the song lyrics you learn off by heart in your teenage years. Rock ‘n’ roll is about escaping all that, or so it claims. But, if you are lucky, you realise that all that is the important stuff. All that is what connects people builds up communities.

The trivial unimportant day-to-day stuff, dismissed by all the media mouths is the important stuff. All the other stuff, the stuff that makes them look good as they strut their brief hour on the stage – that is the pointless, worthless stuff.
