the new greasers

What I'm talking about is a shooting like the one in Lakeland Florida in December 2018.  December 2018?  Why that is little under two years ago.  It seems much longer ago doesn't it?  If you take the corona into it because schools have been closed that takes it down to a year. which is not all that ling ago, Well maybe it's because all this shit has happened since then.  We are living in exciting times.

I wonder what goofy people Beagles is alluding to that got in the way of him getting a decent education.  Myself I had the honor of being named the class clown, but I suspect that Beagles is talking about what we called hoodlums, or hoods, back in the day.  Thinking back I don't recall any bad times from them.

In fact I rather admired them, they were just cool, know what I mean man.  Later they were called greasers.  That was back when people looked back at the 50's with nostalgia and the times became the stuff of musical comedy, much like what has become of the roaring 20's, and later became of the 60's although what they are really talking about in this regard are the 70's.  And what has happened since then musical comedy wise?  And I am thinking nothing really.

The 80's, 90's, oughts, teens, they all seem the same to me, cars became bland, cell phones appeared and rapidly became smaller, there was rap music and hip hop, but really.  When you see newsreels of the time people seem to be dressed strangely and their haircuts look off, but not all that much.

Will the new 20's be something.  Surely the advent of Trump calls for some new era, but who will be the flappers, the stoners, the hippies?  I guess it would have to be the Trumpists, and those militia guys who arm themselves for Armageddon every time they go out to the Seven Eleven for a super slurpie.  And then there are those modern day klansmen and the tiki guys and now the boogaloos who dress up in Hawaiian shirts and AR 15s.  They seem so malevolent now but maybe time will dim their menace and maybe it will someday be a story of romance set against maga hats.
