I think last time any generation could call his youth...an innocent age...was the 60's. The 60's closed & 70's entered with Nam protests, Kent State Massacre, Altamont, the Manson murders....our innocence was lost forever. Along with all subsequent generations it seems...the internet content can kill innocence pretty damn fast.
And believe me there is a huge difference between peace, and flowers and free love vs HOOKING UP. Kids are devoid of emotional connections... friending on facebook (come on, really?!), twittering...it is too much like something out of our sci-fi classics.
Too sad.

So we return to THE INNOCENT AGE...THROUGH OUR MUSIC...TIMELESS, DEEP EMOTIONAL CONNECTION. And if you are lucky, you have a friend or mate that is there with you....
Share your innocent times or at least your journeys there through music--
The Innocent Age
With The Innocent Age, Dan Fogelberg created the most ambitious, successful, and creative recording of his career and one that in retrospect was actually quite underrated. A sprawling, conceptual song cycle, the double album traces the stages of life from the cradle to the grave. Beautifully orchestrated, imaginatively conceived, and obviously well thought out, it works as an artistic statement and also includes some of Fogelberg's most universally appealing and commercially successful music. "Leader of the Band" (about his father) and "Same Old Lang Syne" (about an old girlfriend) have a timeless quality and were big hits. As bold as the album was, Fogelberg acknowledged the importance of his influences and those who inspired him to attempt to reach such lofty musical heights by thanking a long list of music notables in the liner notes. A truly outstanding effort and a major work, The Innocent Age is a recording of a caliber that few artists could achieve; and the fact that it was so commercially successful is a testament to the enormous gifts and appeal of this multi-talented artist. -allmusic

So forget this cruel world
and whatever’s going on
I'll accept my fate
while I sing this song.
But if one day you should see me from your cloud
lend a hand and lift me
Away from the crowd. |
