Sing A Song Of Sad Young Men

The news is bad again…in fact it’s depressing.

I still religiously read the news every day. I used to enjoy my newspaper.
Then we changed to the internet. I miss the feel of news print, and I looked forward to reading the news.

Recently, I really wonder why I continue reading about unmentionable horror, talk of annihilation, cruelty to children, murders, The Oscars and Meghan's new venture in Netflix. Ugh.
And her new claim to be called Meghan Sussex…Sussex was given as a title. Her surname is Mountbatten Windsor. A title is not a family name. Buck House is horrified ( The Palace).

It’s enough to drive one to drink, but I don’t drink. Alcohol doesn’t like me, it makes me quite sick. I enjoyed pubs way back, with live music, sometimes plays, and meeting people. I do have one drink at Christmas…Bailies or a Snowball!

Then my mind wandered back to Eric Clapton…he was addicted to drink and drugs, many were in the sixties and seventies. There were lots of songs about drinking.
Eric said he should have been dead long ago. He abused drink and drugs for over twenty years. I had a crush on him and he asked me out…but I was only thirteen. I bumped into him quite a lot and we always chatted over the years. He’s happy with his family these days. But it’s a wonder he survived.

Roberta Flack - Ballad of the Sad Young Men

Morgan Wallen - You Proof

Eric Clapton - Cocaine

The Rolling Stones - Mother's Little Helper (1966)

Steve Earle - Copperhead Road 

So let’s drive ourselves to drink, musically, and songs about drinking or drugs.

I had no idea that my mother’s favorite song, Puff the Magic dragon, was about smoking dope until Thunder told me. LOL

So the theme is as above.
Music, trailers, memes, gifs, and meeting up with friends to chat.
