Elegy for the Sixties

Dantalian only listens to old Bob Dylan albums and, as for the new stuff, asked his mate to get him the remastered ‘Tapestry’.

The God of Hell Fire grumbles about anything and everything, from the NHS to the way the deficit has stymied the life chances of his flower children.

In his Welsh retreat, Principal Edward leads a rural life, mostly alone with his books and Radio 4, although he’s winding up the affairs of his old Mum who finally chose to stop wandering in the Samsāra.

In a surprise move, Wavy Gravy was ambushed by the very music he loved because his blue meanie neighbours played it too loud at all hours. Now he seeks only silence.

Judy Blue Eyes became a committed Christian and sends out prayers to all sinners everywhere.

The last I heard, Blind Boy Grunt ended up a Headmaster but developed Crohn’s disease because the kids were further to the right than Thatcher and hated hippies.

Peace to you,
My old friends,
Peace to you all,
Shantih shantih shantih,
Peace and Love...

‘..sweet dreams and flying machines
In pieces on the ground..’
