Mercy...60?

I know!

It's a curious realization that I was born one year after these albums came out. I was musing yesterday about how I was born 20 years after WWII ended. My childhood memories are more from the 70's than the 60's, of course.

Still, your article dovetails perfectly with recent conversations about mortality, a recognition of the passing of time, and thoughts about how we should craft the time remaining. I don't find this concept sad or scary - just an is that we are more aware of than in prior years.

Over the next day or so, I have committed to listening to each album in its entirety. Thanks.
