The Good Ole Days

I am reading "One Way Out - The Inside History of the Allman Brothers Band."

In 1973 a new roadie joined the band. He describes the experience thusly:

"Here's how things were in the rock and roll world in 1973: they taught me how to drive an eighteen-wheeler pulling a forty five foot trailer on the highway, with no special license, and my teacher sitting next to me drinking whiskey and snorting cocaine. Off to Watkins Glen!"

Nowadays people wear helmets to walk to the mailbox and rock bands play with bottled water sitting up on their amps.

I miss the good old days.
