“When are you gonna come down When are you going to land I should have stayed on the farm I should have listened to my old man “You know you can't hold me forever I didn't sign up with you I'm not a present for your friends to open This boy's too young to be singing the blues.” - “Good-bye Yellow Brick Road” - Elton John, Bernie Taupin. [Dick James Music, 1973]

How well I remember this song in the early '70s. As a young First Lieutenant in Germany, I thought I had the world by the tail. My whole generation thought they had the world by the tail. We had had our heads crammed full by our primary and secondary educators and parents about how they had given us the world on a silver platter, and that we had better not mess it up! They were concerned about sex, drugs and rock-n-roll, growing moral relativism, rowdy and mob-like behavior on campus and a growing dissolution in America. College campuses filled with Liberal Leftists and even openly Communist professors were out turning minds away from the use of Enlightenment reason and logic, and toward collectivism and emotions. But we were largely oblivious, life was exciting. We had a cause. I still do. Do you?
