I learned to play guitar in '68, my F-112 is a '68, my next fave guitar is a '68, my favorite truck/camper is a '68. It's before Woodstock, but a lot of good things were happening.

You'd think that because we now live in such an age of enlightenment that things might be much better now than then after 50 years of of what they call progress...

But look at who all was alive then, this is before Woodstock. Everyone is alive, except for B. Jones, innovator who checked out earlier. Can you name all the folks, even the more unknown ones?

Dylan on the cover playing some old guitar.

Does this still hold true? When I discovered it... let's just say it was good I have guardian angels that work over time.

And the opposite of Dylan, the Marlboro man, a species apparently.

Do you think we live in a better world now?

Some guy with four nags.

"Hay burners" my old boss used to call them at a Trailer Sales place I worked at, working on horse trailers new and used.

There’s a Barry White song where he says something like “with you, baby, I’d rather fight than switch!”.😂🤣😀
