Actually, despite his having to be vaccinated against the flu, there have still been folks in his office who have gotten really sick. Thankfully, he has a nice strong immune system and he hasn't brought it home to me... at least not yet.
Anyway, as I was writing my new post about songs relating to sickness, I was reminded of an old hit from 1974... "Seasons In The Sun" by Terry Jacks.
This song is... wow... I just can't even express it. It's a song about someone who is dying and doesn't want to. But it's really prompted a variety of reactions. Some people think it's a very touching song about a young person dying before his or her time. Some people think it's just a sappy, schmaltzy, crappy song.
My feelings about it are somewhat neutral. It reminds me of my early childhood. I think it's very dated. The lyrics are a little cheesy. But I can also see why people love it.
Shoot, even the guys in Nirvana loved it...
If you haven't gotten sick yet, many prayers that you'll stay nice and well!
