Feeling Like An Older Guy Tonight

I'm feeling like an older guy tonight. Yesterday, a kid at school said, "Are you a dad?" I responded, "Well, yeah. Why?" He snickered, "Because you've got that dad sense of humor. You know, like dad jokes. They're always..." He tilted his head and gave this goofy look. I sipped my coffee and walked away perplexed. No. Not me. Not dad jokes.

On a musical note: I always loved the second Flying Burrito Brothers album (Burrito Deluxe) more than the first. I guess I'm a sucker for the uptempo numbers like Lazy Day, High Fashion Queen, If You Gotta Go and this one, Older Guys. Watch this cryptic video of the Burrito Boys cruising the coast of Los Angeles County and try not to do the following:
1) Giggle.
2) Guess who Gram Parsons had just been hanging out with in France while they recorded Exile on Main St.
3) Feel second-hand embarrassment for Chris Hillman as his head pops out the hatch.

Here's to the older guys. Gram, Chris and me.
