I have a lot to write about, but for now... music theory.

So I was thinking about the song "the summer of 69." It's one of my favorites and I've been listening to it on my playlist. I've also been watching old tv shows and movies, haha. There's a lot i realize now about what the song could be that I didn't see before.
He says, "I knew that it was now or never" and where I thought he was just being an anxious, crude teen fresh out of highschool, I realize he was actually literally meaning he had to profess his feelings for this girl, otherwise he might not get the chance. She said she'd wait for him forever, another hint.
There was a draft for the Vietnam war in 1969. He probably thought if he hadn't already been drafted, that he would be. And if he had, he knew after summer was over he'd be going to war.
His friend Joey got married that summer. I know people got married slightly younger at that age, but only a few months after graduating? I think his friend was going to war too.
Of course those would be the best days of his life. After that he'd be emotionally and physically scarred from war in Vietnam.
Dang. This song has the potential to be extremely deep and I didn't even know.
