Jem's Trailer Trash Love

Yeah OK I'm old. I was goofing around with jem in IM this morning and reminiscing and jem will never pass on an opportunity to lift my spirits started calling me grandpa.

It's true well except I'm not literally a grandpa but I was thinking about weird shit that runs down the damaged neural highway that comprises the ruins of what could have been a fine mind and I was bitching to jem over the little things (It's the little things that get you when you weren't paying attention) that suddenly bitch slap you into awareness, the fucking clock is running nimrod. And for all you youngsters out there, are you starting to notice that the clock is running faster and faster? If not, you will.

Do you realize that 1968 was forty years ago? That the Stones and Beatles are now in that classification of 'Golden Rock' along with Bill Hailey and that you can't (or shouldn't) hear the Beatles on any of those 80's 90's now stations?

I remember 1968 ... clearly. In 1968 I use to talk to one of my uncles about the War in the Pacific which was one of my interests and he actually fought in it. In 1968 WWII had ended only 23 years ago, His mother, my grandmother, was directly related to, and KNEW a Civil War veteran who fought at Gettysburg, for the South.

Someday some doofus will be staring at me with wide, wide, eyes, "You actually knew someone who was in the Battle of the Coral Sea?"

That's why jem wants to fuck Britney Spears more than hang with Keith Richards. OK that's not exactly true, jem finds Britney 'better looking.' Because she's young I guess. But of course jem is wrong, jem is blinded by Britney's trailer trash ways, seduced by the twinkie as they say in the porn and fetish sites jem must frequent.

So I ask you, my gentle readers, who's better looking and to be kind to Mr. Richards I'll use a picture from the sixties when he was of a similar age as Ms. Spears.
Whatcha think?

Some might argue that Keith is the better musician (I'm in that camp) than Britney. I've posted a comparison of the two artists playing their instruments. As you can see the years have been hard on Keith, but harder on Britney I fear. I love this pic of Keith playing that blonde Telly tuned to open G (you can tell by the five strings instead of six) a tuning he might not have invented but did popularize.
So I remain unconvinced that Britney is better looking than Keith, AT ANY AGE. Even this one:
Since I know I won't have time later - Happy Easter everyone!!!

You're old (you're old...)
Groaning like a geezer
Yourself a-crackin' like an old has-been
Look at yourself, old man, you've got multiple chins
'Cause you're old
Mmm...

You're old (you're old...)
A wheezing, decrepit windbag
Where you once had muscle, you've got jelly rolls
Buddy, you're as ancient as the Dead Sea Scrolls
Man, you're old
Mm-hmm...
(You're old...)
You're old
