"Hold on to sixteen, as long as you can, changes come along real soon make us women and men."
I remember listening to Jack and Diane way before I was sixteen years of age. Back then, I wondered what was so wonderful about being sixteen. Even when I was sixteen, I wondered then what was so wonderful about it. I guess I didn’t have the typical childhood/teenagehood (Yes, I made this word up!). Anyway, it wasn’t normal, so I look back at those times and am so freakin’ thankful I’m not stuck in that horrible vacuum of the teenage years.
I heard that song today, Jack and Diane that is. It came on the 80’s station. Not sure how I feel about that, but I guess it’s good that it’s called 80’s on 8 and not Oldies but Goodies. That makes me happy. You know, sometimes it’s the little things in life!

I like that song, but just realized that I don't really know what it's about. I can only think of "Oh,yeah - life goes on!" Gotta concentrate of the lyrics the next time I hear it.
By the way, I don't think I'd want to be taken back to any age. I'm doing my time here, and hopefully will be willing to give it up when I get tired - a LONG time from now!:)
