Ten Years After

                                                            I sat in Chairy-Chair and let my Mind wander.......this "arrived" :  

                                     " I want to change the world, but I don't know what to do."

                 I had to think about the Source or Origin of that lyric, none was forthcoming, so I had to "Search" .    The title of the song is exactly, "I Want To Change The World" --- it was composed by Alvin Lee and performed by his Band "Ten Years After" circa 1971 {I was a Freshman at U. Conn.} .   Previously, I had no familiarity with Ten Years After until Woodstock, the Movie, was released, and Ten Years After became Famous .   The Song "haunted" me then, does so now .

                You Qids know I am an old man, some days Recall is instantaneous and VIVID, other days "IT's" a fucking Blur, wrapped in Fog and smothered in Clouds ---- .   I "Searched" for the lyrics and ... .

                                       "I want to save the World , but I don't know what to do " =   A statement of which ALL of US can relate,, but guys like me feel >IT< egregiously .   The 3rd stanza is Special :

                                        "World pollution, there's  no solution, institution, electrocution

                                           Just black and white, rich and poor, them and us

                                           WE'LL STOP THIS WAR !!!

                                           I want to change the world, but I don't know what to do

                                          SO I LEAVE IT UP TO YOU...

                                         It's called luck .

                    You can see it rite ?



                               You an see it r
