A real man's walk...
To Every Man His Chimera Beneath a broad grey sky, upon a vast and dusty plain devoid of grass, and where not even a nettle or a thistle was to be seen, I met several men who walked bowed down to the ground. Each one carried upon his back an enormous Chimera as heavy as a sack of flour or coal, or as the equipment of a Roman foot-soldier. But the monstrous beast was not a dead weight, rather she enveloped and oppressed the men with her powerful and elastic muscles, and clawed with her two vast talons at the breast of her mount. Her fabulous head reposed upon the brow of the man like one of those horrible casques by which ancient warriors hoped to add to the terrors of the enemy. I questioned one of the men, asking him why they went so. He replied that he knew nothing, neither he nor the others, but that evidently they went somewhere, since they were urged on by an unconquerable desire to walk. Very curiously, none of the wayfarers seemed to be irritated by the ferocious beast hanging at his neck and cleaving to his back: one had said that he considered it as a part of himself. These grave and weary faces bore witness to no despair. Beneath the splenetic cupola of the heavens, their feet trudging through the dust of an earth as desolate as the sky, they journeyed onwards with the resigned faces of men condemned to hope for ever. So the train passed me and faded into the atmosphere of the horizon at the place where the planet unveils herself to the curiosity of the human eye. During several moments I obstinately endeavoured to comprehend this mystery; but irresistible Indifference soon threw herself upon me, nor was I more heavily dejected thereby than they by their crushing Chimeras.

Takes me back. That was a great year. Fleetwood Mac released Rumours near the start of the year. Star Wars came out at the start of the summer, SNF closed out the year.
I was in the Navy stationed at a little base in Ferndale California, middle of Humboldt County. Pot was great quality and cheap, Coke was flowing freely and nobody had heard of crack yet. We were still a couple of years away from AIDs so sex was easy and plentiful. Disco was hot but there was still lots of great Rock and Roll coming out. We were smoking joints in the bars and the movie theaters and nobody cared. Just a great year all around. . |

I wasn't allowed to watch Saturday Night Fever when I was a kid; I was too young. I didn't see it until a few years ago...
