people always use this expression.....personally, I can remember "the good old days"....days when the economy was humming, we weren't at war, things were good. Actually, there had been a lot of good years after Vietnam.
Will the world ever get so fucked up that people remember 2000-2010 as "the good old days"? :think:

When did you sneak in here?
I hear ya....I'm happy....just don't think is ever going to be a period that anyone views nostalgically (other than, maybe, Dick Cheney).

me and my family make the best of everyday.
Godfather.
Everyone longs back to when they were young, the world was simpler (mostly due to inexperience at the time I'd say) and there weren't so many problems (as they will still be in the future for the most part).
Kinda like even Socrates in way before BC complained about the disrespectful, rude and lazy youths of his day, you know? It's more or less a constant, no matter what time you go to, some will be nostalgic about the past...
So yeah, give it a few decades, and I'll guarantee that many on here will look back at the "good old 00s" with loads of nostalgia and longing. It's part of aging I suppose.
Peace

everyday is only as good as you make it, challenges will always come and go.

Music, memories, the things I loved. The era you speak of was my hayday so I think I will remember it fondly.
*MUSIC IS the expression of EMOTION.....and that POLITICS IS merely the DECOY of PERCEPTION*
.....song_Music & Politics....Michael Franti
*The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite INSANE*....Nikola Tesla(a man who shaped our world of electricity with his futuristic inventions)
irie days come on play
let the angels fly let the devils die
got to do what you can with the time at hand
Ali boom mah yeah Ali boom mah yeah
don't worry your mind its just the test of time
in five years these be the good old days
no one knows what the future holds for everything has a season
its not a time for war its a time for peace
tomorrow knows tomorrow woes
I remember when grandpa use to say grandson these be the good old days
these be the good old days
now comes the moon with its starry lights
and so begins the night life
the tribal dance puts me in a trance
as she pulls me in with her magic swing
I asked of her what do we celebrate
she said to me these be the good old days
these be the good old days
leh leh leh leh leh leh leh leh
there is no future there is only now
let's cherish these moments that we now know
these be the good old days
I like those words.....
Peace

I like that !
Godfather.
very well said !
Godfather.
Ziggy was completely right in 5 years *these be the good old days* when I toured with Ziggy and Michael that was back in 2004 9 days 6 cities. The same year went to see Michael in London's Jazz Cafe 3 nights in a row after his return from Iraq/Israel/Palestine. Then I went over to Belgium...Wercheter Festival and France along with many other dates on the east coast US.
I'm NOT traveling near as much in the tough times everybody is having, not these days so 5 years later *those were the good old days*

yeah, but there was a time when both could be good. Now, you can have a good, happy life......but the rest of things suck. That said, I guess most kids would always look back on their childhoods as "the good old days," no matter when they were young (assuming their childhoods were "normal").
I'll rememeber the aughts as a good time in my life....but a fucked up time in the world.

I haven't done this in a while ...but I would walk the beach and watch the sun rise listening to this song and it was a good way to start the day Happy! It reminded me to try to live as if it would be my last day.
These Are The Days by 10000 Maniacs
These are the days
These are days you'll remember
Never before and never since, I promise
Will the whole world be warm as this
And as you feel it,
You'll know it's true
That you are blessed and lucky
It's true that you
Are touched by something
That will grow and bloom in you
These are days that you'll remember
When May is rushing over you
With desire to be part of the miracles
You see in every hour
You'll know it's true
That you are blessed and lucky
It's true that you are touched
By something that will grow and bloom in you
These are days
These are the days you might fill
With laughter until you break
These days you might feel
A shaft of light
Make its way across your face
And when you do
Then you'll know how it was meant to be
See the signs and know their meaning
It's true
Then you'll know how it was meant to be
Hear the signs and know they're speaking
To you, to you
And there's this one from when I was a little girl. My Mama and I we would sing. Dad played the piano. The one he let me paint hot pink with black lapels. I remember his fingers on the keys, the little black onyx pinkie ring and his feet working the pedals. He would really get going
Those Were the Days My Friend
Psst... 2012 is coming.
