It definitely is true most of the time…Coz with experience people learn to analyse things better.
Also the probability of an older person having had an experience with some topic or event is a lot more than of a younger one and this itself puts the older one in a better position to comment.
It is lamentable that the passion we had to make a better world from 40 years ago has evaporated. The kids, the home, the job, just surviving kept us too busy I suppose. Seems this is your first visit – welcome.
We have no Dylan or John Baez or any prophet types from that era in our time. Music today are mere tunes without social conscience or commentary. Wouldn’t sell. As long as the 1% has a hold on government there can be no change. It is time for a second American revolution. “All power to the workers !” And us retired too of course.
It is wise and prudent when it comes to sensitive issues for an author to be somewhat obscure without fictionalizing. It protects the innocent and the guilty.
