Baby Boomer Blues

Recommended Posts

They call me baby boomer
But I look in the mirror
And see everything
In the world but a baby

I see a senior dude
With a decade to go
My daddy went at 79
I'm sure I'll follow

Baby Boomer Blues
From my bald head
To my tennis shoes
I'd still be 30 if I could choose
Baby Boomer Blues
Never thought I'd lose
I was the young one
Now I sit on a couch and snooze

I miss Annette Funicello
And of course Howdy Doody
I still play Little Richard
Singing Tutti Frutti

I miss Brigitte Bardot
My first love at 10
I know I'll never feel
That good again

Baby Boomer Blues
From my bald head
To my tennis shoes
I'd still be 30 if I could choose
Baby Boomer Blues
Never thought I'd lose
I was the young one
Now I sit on a couch and snooze

I'm too old for women
Too old for booze

Solo
Chorus

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
