Talkin' Bout My Generation
One week after this video's release on YouTube, the Zimmers have hit the Top 30 in Great Britain. How cool is this?
... and the clocks were striking thirteen. REFUSE TO BE AFRAID. Free yourself. Dream.

FELLOW TRAVELERS
More and more the ol' U.S. of A. seems like a cross between 1984 and Fahrenheit 451 - Where's Simon Jester or V when you need them? This little spot on the 'Net is meant as a place to explore ways to carve out what freedom we can in this nanny-government, corporate Big Brother world - and enjoy the bread and circuses along the way. Who am I? Well, Tom Paine once wrote, "Who the Author of this Production is, is wholly unnecessary to the Public, as the Object for Attention is the DOCTRINE ITSELF, not the MAN."

The Zimmers are terrific! I can't believe Buster Martin is over 100 years old.
My father is in his 80s and still works. He loves being around people and helping his customers. He still plays golf, gardens and enjoys life.
Thank you for putting the vid up on your blog.
This was freaking fantastic. I had tears in my eyes by the end of the video. Thank you so much for posting it.
My father died in '96 when he was 72 and he was active right up until the end. I think that the older generation has the knowledge to help us survive, but there are not many who want to listen it seems. I missed out on my father's knowledge...I was 21 when he died and didn't think it was important. I refuse to make the same mistake with my mother.
This is way cool. Thanks, B.W.!
I'm tickled that the video has been viewed a couple or three million times on YouTube and the song has hit the Top 30 in Britain, because stuff that moves me doesn't often gain popular acceptance.
As I move through middle age, I need role models about how to hang onto the enthusiasm for life that was so easy early on. I'm going to hang onto this example with both hands!
