Music Monday – “Nothing lasts forever/And your best efforts don’t always pay/Sometimes you get sick/And you don’t get better/That’s when life is short/Even in its longest days”

I’ve always loved John Mellencamp but mostly as a rocker. So this song off his latest album caught me a bit by surprise (though I do hear echoes of “My Best Was Never Good Enough” by Bruce Springsteen on his “Ghost of Tom Joad” album.) “Longest Days” – John Mellencamp
