You might wish to begin the attached video at the 1:52 mark. I have watched this video several times. No, I do not agree with the words of the rock anthem. But, you see, I am jealous. Here is a 68-year-old woman who can still rock and sing in ways that I no longer can at 66. Well, to be honest, I am not sure I could have sung as well as her back when I was in my 20s. But, a sigh rolls through my heart as I look at the part of the video where she is singing. Here is a woman who is still going strong at an age at which I am having to watch what I do. Yes, green jealousy rolls through my veins. I know that I am supposed to grow old gracefully. But, after watching this video, I am quite sure that I would wish to grow old somewhat disgracefully. This does not mean that I would wish to violate Christian standards. But, it certainly does mean that I would have little problem with violating cultural standards.
