Age
She said 'I don't believe it!' when I told her I'd seen The Clash. 'You look so fresh-faced.'
It must have been the light outside in the alley that passed as the 'Outside Area' of the bar where we were using cigarettes to add years to our faces and subtract them from our lives. I haven't looked fresh-faced since I was sixteen. She was drunk. Women do wear beer goggles after all.
Six days later I told a young man I'd seen the Funkadelic/Parliament show in 1978 so he asked me if I'd seen Hendrix, thus adding another ten years to my age. It could have been worse. He might have asked if I'd seen Buddy Holly. Things have a way of balancing out...
That parliament gig was amazing. Had the big badge I bought for years.
