Last night we watched "Independent Lens". A favorite for George and I. This particular show was on elderly people in a chorus presenting a show on an annual basis. The show they were working on was comprised of punk and rock. The premise was odd. No doubt about it. It worked.
Lyrics of today apply to the people of all ages and challenges our perceptions of who should listen to what music. Not all people over 70 listen to classical or Lawrence Welk (no the two are not synonomous). It also shed light on the reality of life and death. Made all involved, both in the show or the watching of it, come to grips with the fragile hold we have within our lives. That with all the control we would like to have, we don't have that much and it is something I needed to be reminded.
