Lying in bed…Almost Famous is on…the movie never get olds.
It’s midnight.
Watching Almost Famous and thinking of my youth. It wasn’t the 70’s. I was born in that era – 1976. It wasn’t the 80’s – I was a kid in that era. It was the 90’s – I was a teenager/young adult.
The world was sitting in my palm. I was naive. I was wide-eyed. There were so many possibilities. I was happy and living in the moment but dreaming big.
Music – the music.
Led Zeppelin
Jimi Hendrix
Journey
Fleetwood Mac
Guns n Roses
Metallica
Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Freestyle, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s…
Those were the days. Free. Fly through the wind. Wake up to bake in the sun, listen to music, watch MTV!, cut off short denim shorts and mini tops. Time seemed endless.
Though what is portrayed in Almost Famous, I didn’t get to experience. And boy, would I have loved to live a rock n roll lifestyle. We were all too grown up for our ages and trying to grow up fast. They were great days.
I lay here thinking the possibilities are still possible. Dreams are still alive. Life is just beginning. For me. I find hope and inspiration in the past. In movies that bring my youth to life.
Almost Famous.
That’s me.
