rock and roll never forgets

i am grateful for bob seger and all those other rockers who layed such a foundation for rock and roll. even more grateful today as i wait with such anticipation for what tomorrow brings. tomorrow. tis my 32nd birthday. at some point, and im not sure when i began to loathe birthdays. i remember wearing all black on my 20th birthday in protest of the celebration that was sure to follow where ere i'd go. i didnt wear black because i didnt want to get older, or because i was being morbid, i just did not want anyone to mistake me for a happy-go-lucky birthday girl. (as if they would to begin with.)

as a side note, last year some poor chap who didnt know me at all attached the word 'bubbly' to me. as in 'you're bubbly, lets have you do something cute' in the video we were shooting for work. weird-o.

back to bob. i heard this song the other day and thought about how true it was for me at this juncture. (not gonna do it, wouldnt be prudent--thats what i think when i use the word 'juncture')
anyway- replace 31 with 32, and though it doesnt rhyme, you are likely to make the mistake as i did and assume ol bob wrote this song just for me.

so youre a little bit older and a lot less bolder
than you used to be
so you used to shake 'em down
but now you stop and think about your dignity
so now sweet sixteen's turned 31
you get to feelin weary when the work days done
well all you got to do is get up and into your kicks
if youre in a fix
rock and roll never forgets
you better get yourself a partner
go down to the concert or the local bar
check the local newspapers
chances are you wont have to go too far
yeah the rafters will be ringing cause the beats so strong
the crowd will be swaying and singing along
and all you got to do is get in into the mix
if you need a fix
come back baby
rock and roll never forgets
oh the bands still playing it lound and lean
listen to the guitar player makin it scream
all you got to do is just make that scene tonight
heh tonight
well now sweet sixteens turned 31
feel a little tired feeling under the gun
well all chuck's children are out there playin his licks
get into your kicks
come back baby
rock and roll never forgets

see what i mean. i need to go find something black to wear tomorrow. you probably know that with the current contents of my closet finding something black should not be a problem. no, the problem will be finding something black that fits.
thank you for your time
