Ya' know that old trees just grow stronger
And old rivers grow wilder ev'ry day
Old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hello"
My absolute favorite John Prine song. I'd upvote this 1000 times if I could.
I talk to a lot of seniors in my work, I hear that song a lot of times when I'm talking to them, luckily its up to me if I let them go on or not, and most of the time I do :)
Every now and then I get a wwII vet, I absolutely love talking to those guys, they always seem so genuinely appreciative when someone is willing to listen. I talked to a Korean vet last week who was at Chosin. I had a customer about 25 years ago who filled me in on that battle. We talked way too long about it and to tell you the truth I can't remember if he bought from me or not :)
You're both right on the money! Scorsese, De Niro, Keitel, Foster, Cybill Shepherd, Paul Schrader, Peter Boyle for all of them to be together must have taken some kind of Celestial event!
