I'm no longer a Young One!

And other shower thoughts…

This morning in the shower, looking at the bottle of Dr Bronner’s soap, I remembered hearing that there’s going to be a musical about the good doctor. So I’m trying to come up with possible songs…

Doctor Bronner’s Soap!
Doctor Bronner’s Soap!
Doctor Marten’s Boots!
Yeah my brain is a odd place…I did actually start singing “Doctor Bronner’s Soap” a little, probably good that I live alone.

It struck me that I’m no longer a young one (Young One?). At times in my past I’ve been the punk rocker Vyvyan, with leather biker jacket, safety pins and paper clips as earrings. Just rebel from everything, I was soooo dangerous. Yeah, right, you’ve heard of the punk rock scene of suburban Maine, right?

I’ve been (P)Rick, the wanker, know-nothing political activist. Yeah, sure that was all to get laid in college…

I’ve been Neil, the drippy, pushy vegetarian. Same…

And I’ve been Mike, the self styled ladies man. To my shame, my Mike days were in the new-swing days of the 90’s. :smack:

Tried a few others out for size, raver kid, grunge, almost a frat-boy…

Now, mid 40’s, pretty boring, and happy and set in my ways, been this one for 15 years now.

But I kinda miss trying out others…

Anyone else have a string of personas?

Oh yeah. And I still have my leather biker jacket and boots. Haven’t worn them since the '70s.

Still have my ACT-UP (“Silence = Death”) t-shirt from the '80s. It seems to have shrunk quite a bit.

Wish I still had my sky-blue Nehru jacket from the '60s.

But I do still have my violin that I played my Senior solo on in '63.

Yup, no longer a Young One.

A great show.

I have always been a blend of Vyvyan and Neil; I will take it to my grave. While we’re on the subject: RIP Rik.
Bambi:

My apologies, I just realized that the aspect ratio is all screwed up on the video I linked to.
Here’s a better one, only not the full episode.

I’ve always been a Vyvian Basterd type myself, hippies are too wussy, self-important wankers like Mike Coolperson are annoying, and §Rick is an insufferable self important prat

Maybe there’s a little of the Biloxi Family craziness in there too…
