...If you're young at heart.
"Staying Alive" certainly does take a different dimension when sung by these folks than it did back when the Bee Gees sung it.
One can't help but wonder what the story of some of these people is.
Living a story is essential to what it means to be human. There are personal stories and there are grander collective narratives that powerfully influence the individual adventures, and vice-versa. Those stories, they shape or contain and transform one another. Very much like rock and water.
Sometimes, the water stops flowing... Like so many socio/religious/ideological static ponds, stagnant in-group stories do form now and then.
Sometimes the water stops flowing. Sometimes the land gets washed away.
Some plants, such as lotuses, prefer stagnant water, while other prefer flowing water. It's all good.
It doesn't matter in the end.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
