OTD: These are the times…

Forums:

December 23, 1776 

"THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated..."

from The Crisis by Thomas Paine

Wait, what? I thought that these were the days of miracle and wonder.

The first days are the hardest days.

Days of wine and roses 

There were days
And there were days
And there were days between

Explosive Concert ...  The Best Of Times - Styx 7" 45: CDs ...

Good times, bad times, you know I've had my share.

Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my. 

 

Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught
Or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone
The song is over
Thought I'd something more to say

Time - woah!

You better start swimmin'

Or you'll sink like a stone....

Dancing Days are hear again...

 

Get in the groove and let the good times roll
Come on and let the good times roll

And you knew who you were then 

girls were girls and men were men
