I’d never heard of Brian Ferry when I arrived in England many, many years ago. One of my roommates was shocked: “Brian Ferry is completely cool,” she said. If you ignore the funny faces he makes and the weird bolo tie, this song makes her case:

I clicked on the site and at the top of the page was the expression below:
Ezehu chacham? Ha-lomed mi-kol adam.

I have found youtube to be a real blessing. However much it leaves us feeling old/older, it gives comfort in the process of aging while we recall the fondness of youth. I think it’s a good balance. It’s not as though we can pick up an old newspaper and feel that same way. Familiar music reminds us of a time and place that remains solidly with us.
It’s like comfort food for the ears.
