i watched Quadrophenia yesterday. would have been more impressed if it had been made in '69 instead of '79. fits well with this byron quote i ran across last night --
It was one of the deadliest and
heaviest feelings of my life to feel
that I was no longer a boy. From that
moment I began to grow old in
my own esteem -- and in my esteem
age is not estimable.
A rock star in his time. Unlike some, he did die before he got old. Some might apply Matthew Arnold's tribute to our music heroes: "He taught us little, but our soul / Had felt him like the thunder's roll"
As long as your reading Byron it behooves you to read Don Juan, pronounced JOO ANN, in its entire ottava rhima splendor. Byron got more chics than Magic Johnson & would have been the Wheel's wine god. Keats, of course, IS the man.
