I'm in the Black Bear Diner in Auburn. As I look around all I see are blue haired people, that is if they have any hair at all. Most of the men have their dome covered by a cap of some sort and the faces here haven't seen a razor in months. What strikes me as funny is, the music is blazing far too loud for a typical restaurant setting. And what bumps that up a notch is, the song blairing is "Born to be Wild". I remember when this music was called Acid Rock and this song was the birth of Heavy Metal, being one of the first references of those two words together. Here it is being played at a diner sandwiched between Simon & Garfunkel's Cecilia and Sting's "Set them Free". I guess it's all the same now.
