Day 6 - 219 -- Music for Deep Thoughts

After another full day at the office, I headed out to the local theatre for the third of four plays offered this summer. This one deal with changing relationships as a couple ages. There was laughter along with the deeper thought proviking moments..The Governor-General Award-winning playwright was in the audience with the rest of us. That was interesting and special for this opening night performance. I attended with a friend, also retired from campus life. We were joined by a retired staff member and had two other retired professors with their spouses sitting in front of us. It is a small town, after all <smile>. The turnout was very good.

This play began with the music from the heyday of the two main married characters -- Shelter from the Storm by Bob Dylan. Since I've shared that song before on the blog, I chose to go with the other song -- one chosen to accompany the professed 'acid flashbacks' one character noted whenever something didn't make sense. Only parts of each song were used i the play. The song is from the acid rock and psychedelic genres (surprise) and may be an early influence for the later heavy metal genre. The song is much longer than most featuring a number of solos, and took an entire side of a LP. This would be a great choice when parents noted just one more song <smile>. The title is odd, but is a great example of misheard lyrics by the songwriters. Enjoy!
