Stoned

Friday, December 30th, 2005

I was at the bank this morning.

While there, I took notice of the usual assortment of customers and staff milling about. Most of the teller staff were older women; the type that wear neat polyester suits with modest brooches on the lapel and sensible flat soes. Their hair is cut short-ish and their makeup is not intended to entice so much as it is to conceal. I have nothing against women of that generation; I’m just making an observation.

I was waiting at the counter for someone to pay attention to me when a couple women came in who were obviously "regulars", and the older, polyester-wearing women on staff greeted by name the older, polyester-wearing women who just walked through the door. There was a quick exchange of "Hi" and "How are you this fine day?" and "How goes the battle?" and I’m sure you can guess the rest.

What made me stop and take notice was when a woman behind the counter asked one of the women who had just come in about her husband, and the customer explained that he was well and had gone to the Rolling Stones concert in Ottawa last night (they played here to one of the biggest crowds any show in Ottawa has ever enjoyed). From behind the counter a few women gathered at the wicket for a gab, and they asked how Mick Jagger was. It turns out that he was very spry and he put on "quite a little show", and great it was that it didn’t go too late… and everyone nodded in agreement.

See, for me it was something of a mind-bender because I’m used to fans of rock music looking a certain way… like this, this, this or even this. I don’t usually expect this.

I realized that The Rolling Stones will be, to my children, what Lawrence Welk was to me. And I’m ok with that because, you know what? That’s kinda what they are to me as well.
