Nostalgia ain't what it used to be. This JTboppingblues song was more fun than Jocko, but now a kid might need wiki to look up the aging references within song!
Things that aren't here anymore or are not doing well or mostly no longer create an image for the younger crowd: What Does it picture instantly to say "station wagon"(minivan or suv, etc now)? Besides Bo Diddley and Harlan Sanders being gone, and Raising Cane's & others are causing KFCs to Close round here, What is Howard Johnson's as a restaurant, Sears pretty much is Going Out of Business, Briggs & Stratton makes the engine, but another Brand is on the Mower for Sale, and a Dad uses the Remote or his Cell to mess with the tv. which is now just a Monitor for some other device/box or wifi or Bluetooth or ? Thank God as a Dad I still lie down on the sofa to gather the strength to get up 'Later on...' to walk my dog, baby... But if I ever lose my blues, I walk on over and look for the Remote.
'I'm a Man' is the Bo Diddley song originally the B-side of 'Bo Diddley' his 1st single release in 1955. Both huge hits, and both very new beats and of much impact on later rocknrollers & blues dudes. James Taylor ends his Family Man song with Bo Diddley, and JT also has Bo Diddley in these lyrics from 'RockNRoll is Music Now'
"Mama knows and papa knows that rock 'n roll is music now.
Baby's been cutting his teeth on Bo Diddley's, I'm a man, man,
Listen to the Wolfman howl."
Taylor was 7 years young in 1955, I was 2yo. All those references to station wagons and companies still made sense when Taylor released this song in 1976, our bicentennial and my wedding year. So I finally found out, I am a Family Man.
Song's a great dogwalking beat to have banging round yo head, walking yo dog.
