I’m not sure what to make of this. Surely there’s a touch of the subliminal in the message.

Pardon me while I look over my shoulder, but in the last two days an odd bit of circumstance caught up with me. Two friends on two different occasions brought two different country tunes to my attention, both about old men.

I’m fairly versed in country music, but I’ll admit to not being familiar with either of them. Maybe that’s part of being an old man , but hop onto your Spotify app and see if you enjoy both : Old Man From the Mountain, Merle Haggard and Don’t Let The Old Man In, Toby Keith.

Thank you both friends for including me in the loop, but remember. When I come knockin’ , don’t let the old man in.
