Summer of '69

[jp_nyc]

Bryan Adams was born in 1959 which would have made him 10 in the summer of 69.

Which makes the song a bullshit boomer pandering that was common in the 80s.

Unless, of course, he was not referring to the year 1969.

It’s not literally a song about the summer of 1969. It’s about a grown man being old enough to realize how great it was to be eighteen and how he’ll never be that happy and carefree again.

Altamont was in December.

In the summer of 1969, I was taken to a Stop The War rally on the common in Cambridge, MA, and while I sat on my mom's shoulders someone draped a white-peace-sign-on-black-background flag over me and her shoulders. It got in the newspaper. I wish I had that clipping.

Cuts like a knife was about anal

So glad I work from home. I would hate to explain to my coworkers why I was cracking up.

I totally forgot. I do remember my Harley panhead taking 5 kicks to start though. Must have been cold.

This is true because apparently '(Everything I do) I Do It For You' is all about a massive bi orgy.
