It's my 55th birthday. This song is about me. I was 17 when I first heard it. I didn't mean to live it. Just happened that way. Weird. The song is by Procol Harum, from the album A Salty Dog.

Pilgrims Progress
(fisher / reid)

I sat me down to write a simple story
Which maybe in the end became a song
In trying to find the words which might begin it
I found these were the thoughts I brought along

At first I took my weight to be an anchor
I gathered up my fears to ride me round
But then I clearly saw my own delusion
And found my struggles further brought me down

In starting out I thought to go exploring
And set my foot upon the nearest throne
In vain I looked to find the promised turning
But only saw how far I was from home

In searching I forsook the paths of learning
And sought instead to find some pirate’s gold
In fighting I did hurt those dearest to me
And still no hidden truths could I unfold

I sat me down to write a simple story
Which maybe in the end became a song
The words have all been writ by one before me
We’re taking turns in trying to pass them on
Oh, we’re taking turns in trying to pass them on

I just wanted to share this today. Thanks, all.
Bob

Well ... you didn't ask for positive comments, but your going to get one anyway.

You look GREAT and don't look close to fifty-five to me.

There is nothing sexier then a mature man that keeps himself in really good shape.

Theme song? Gawd, I hope not. Well, actually it does speak to the course of my life, so in that sense it is that. Still, my real theme songs...I have two: My Generation and Jumpin' Jack Flash. In both cases, only the orginally released studio version will do.

Thanks to all who have appeared to wish me well. And I do mean all.

Bob
