Devono essere stati sicuramente degli anni interessanti in cui vivere, spero che ti siano rimasti nel cuore, nonostante tutte le loro contraddizioni...
Non mi ricordavo l'estate del '68 dei Pink Floyd. In compenso, so che negli anni '80 si è aperto un importante dibattito rockeggiante: la canzone "Summer of '69" di Bryan Adams faceva riferimento all'estate di parecchi anni prima, o ad un'estate nel quale era stata scoperta una posizione erotica?
In ogni caso, erano "i giorni migliori della mia vita", canta il Poeta.
Summer Of '69
I got my first real six string
Bought it at the five and dime
Played it til my fingers bled
Was the summer of '69
Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shoulda known we'd never get far
But when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you - ya
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69
Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no...
And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six string
I think about ya'n wonder what went wrong
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69
Comunque, per tornare in tema, mi par di ricordare che nel '68 sia nato il 50% delle mie testimoni di nozze (laiche), e sia stato concepito l'altro 50%.
Pace e bene.
