There's a melancholy feeling about this. Maybe classic rock is melancholy. "The Low Spark of High-Healed Boys" (1971) comes to mind

    Don't worry too much

    it'll happen to you

    We were children once, playing with toys

    And the thing that you're hearing is only the sound

    Of the low spark of high-heeled boys

or "Sultans of Swing" (1978).

I wonder what you think of when you think of classic rock.

I immediately wanted an Eskimo pie, even though they just changed their name to Edy's Pie.

The cinnamon sky and shooting make me think of war -- even though the merchant marines are not a military force. And why do I have to tell your mother anything if you make it back -- that's a nice reversal of the usual, "if I don't make it back."

Time to get my stick and play some hockey.
