There was a line, used twice, in the movie “The Legend of Bagger Vance” that goes: “No, that was just a moment ago”. Here is the first instance:
And the second:
I’ve always thought that the line is metaphysical of sorts. That its up to each of us to determine how we view time. How we experience time. Just short of 50 years ago I sat on island off the Pacific coast of Panama in an open air theater (of sorts) viewing Joe Cocker’s Mad Dogs and Englishmen. The burning of one of Panama’s leading cash crops set heavy in the evening air.
It seems now that was just a moment ago.
Well, it’s been just a little more than 50 years since Joe thrilled us all with the songs and spirit at Woodstock.
Joe passe in 2014, aged 70 years. RIP wildman.
