You Could Have Been More... [View all]

1970 I was a kid, and while I listened to this song I apparently didn't hear it.

As an old man this is not actually entirely reflective of my life, but I reflect, looking back, were I wiser, I could have more, although in 1970 it seems unlikely I knew what "more" might have been.

Nevertheless, at the end of an American life, in the dying United States, this line smacks one in the face:

"...more than a consumer lying in some room trying to die..."

Regrets though, mean nothing I suppose...
