It is a hauntingly beautiful song! I've loved it since the first time I heard it, way back when. Actually, it was way, way back. (grin) I love it to this day.

In many ways, I know I am a product of my generational experience. Ali remains the greatest heavyweight champion. The Beatles and other musicians' works from that era were the very best. The Vietnam war was wrong. At the same time, I am frequently very impressed with the young people I know -- my children, relatives, and their friends -- on social and political issues.

Thank you again. I often write something, then question myself if it is worth posting here or rather is it the nonsense of an old man. So I'm glad that I did decide to post this.
