Well, that was beautifully said, especially that part about your old man! Immediately brought to mind a favorite song from my DeadHead days (which will probably never end, but since Jerry checked out in ‘95 it’s not quite same). The song - GDTRFB in Dead parlance but Woody Guthrie actually titled it ‘Going Down The Road Feeling Bad’ - is a real foot stomper and happier than the title might lead you to believe. I always wanted a GDTRFG license plate (last G for Good or Great depending on the day). Any way, here’s a couple of verses.

I'm going down this road feeling bad

I'm going down this road feeling bad

I'm going down this road feeling bad, bad, bad

And I ain't gonna be treated this way

I'm going where the water tastes like wine

I'm going where the water tastes like wine

I'm going where the water tastes like wine, wine, wine

And I ain't gonna be treated this way

See ya down the road, Boo…❤️
