David Johansen on his song, One Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This.
"It's kind of a really bad Johansen translation of Virgil. But it's an aphorism that I think is apropos. You look at the newspaper and you say, "The world's going to hell in a hand-basket." But in five years, everybody's gonna be saying, "Those were the good old days."

Human nature does not, it seems to me, ever essentially change much at all.
You can say that again.
I hope that the world isn't going to hell but there sure are problems with people hating each other.
Syd,
Maybe we'll say those were the good old days when people yelled and cursed at each other, instead of shooting each other. Maybe we'll be nostalgic about a lack of constant bloodshed.
Just saying.
Frankly, I wish the fucking moon would get back into the second house and that Jupiter would align with Mars. Know what I'm sayin'?
Yes, ma'am. I surely do.
