what a long strange trip its been

car at Whitney Museum

This picture makes me feel old and young at the same time.

I hate to be like an old person and say I remember it like yesterday....but if anything brings on the crushing weight of time I'm glad it's this cute little psychedelic car. It doesn't really remind me of the sixties (that was slightly before my time) but it reminds me of being young. If I could describe to anyone my youth this is the picture I'd paint - even though the real car was a chevrolet. It's a picture of the future, that it would end up somewhere else, and the trip would be exhilarating and worth making.
