Today my brother sent me an e-mail with the title : "flipper next weekend in sf -- i'm there!"
I immediately got excited for him and a tad bit jealous and then, the bass line for "Life" started playing in my head. I had to run to my iTunes and crank it up.
No truer words have been spoken: Life is the only thing worth living for.
Of course I couldn't help to also reminisce about the roadtrip I took with my friends in the 80's. We drove from Los Angeles to San Francisco and our soul mission was a see Flipper. (See the yellow flyer from the show in the photo above which I still cherish).
Mission accomplished and well worth sleeping in the car for :)
Here's the video from YouTube, granted, the visuals are lacking but close your eyes and listen and you'll get the picture. Or, better yet, keep your eyes wide open and scream along. I included the lyrics below.
Lyrics for Life
I
too
have sung death's praises
But
I'm
not
gonna sing that song anymore
'Cause
I've
found
out
what living is all about
and its Life! Life!
Life is the only thing worth living for
Yeah life! life!
Life is the only thing worth...
Life! life!
(I know it has its ups and downs)
