On Time

The concert started on time. The
sound system was good. The Byrds
walked out onto the stage and
proceeded to play each and every
song I wanted to hear before I even
realized that was what I wanted.
When McGuinn sang "I Want to
Grow Up to Be a Politician" just
about everybody present was
willing to vote for him for
anything. After they had played all
the songs everyone knew, they
went into other amazing sounds
and ten seconds after they broke
into "Rollin' in My Sweet Baby's
Arms" it seemed as if the roof
might cave in. The Byrds were
dancing in ecstasy and the audience
was doing back-flips. Everybody
was definitely
appreesh-preesh-preeshiating
everything.
