Willie Nelson in 1969

(1/2) > >>

JimH:
The Viet Nam war was at its peak.  The mood of the country was a lot like it is now.

But Willie Nelson was around then.  I just came across a web site with a great old photo of him in 1969.

I Bought 3 For Me And Sue Tonight From A Place I Found On Sunday Sue's Subs (Subs, Gyros And Oriental Food)

Owned By A Chinese Owner (I Thought That Was Interesting) Serving Greek Food.

They Were Better Than Miami Subs

We Only Ate Two Of Them.

I Guess That Sort Of Goes With A "Boy Named Sue" (Sue's Subs, My Wife Name Is Sue).

I Had The 45 (For The "New Kids On The Block", Thats Not A Gun, It's A Small Album, Used To Store Music On A Disk Like A CD But Without the Laser)

When I Was A Kid On The Farm We Called The Cows To Feed By Calling Out "Sick-a-me Sue"

JimH:
We said, on the plains of Nebraska, "Here boss, come boss, come bossie, come bossie." 

Or, with pigs, my aunt would call, "Here pig, come pig, sooie, sooie, soo--ie!"

And, when playing hide and seek, we said "allie allie ox in free".  Later, I figured out it meant something like "All that's out's in free."

John Gateley:
Johnny Cash doing Nine Inch Nails' Hurt is a pretty amazing cover...

"I think I'll name him Bill or Joe or ANYTHING but Sue...."

It is interesting How we can flashback to memories long since past, but what we had for lunch yesterday has been forgotten.

I got my dad some vernors ginger ale for fathers day.
