Those were the days, my friend  
We thought they’d never end  
We’d sing and dance forever and a day  
We’d live the life we choose  
We’d fight and never lose  
For we were young and sure to have our way

As much as I might try, I cannot find any fault in this logic. Well, OK, I didn’t even try, I just put on my _Allman Brothers at Fillmore East_ CD …
