Suite Judy Blue Eyes by CSN saved me from going AWOL in BCT (Fall '69).Standing in the chow line at about 0600...cold as hell...depressed like I've never been depressed before (or since)....and I hear that song come blaring from a radio playing in the mess hall.It boosted my spirits at that moment so much that thoughts of desertion (*real* thoughts) left me.

I guess I should send them a note thanking them for saving me from a few years at Levenworth.

GSC, that is an uplifting story to go with the very uplifting song. It always inspires me.

I think it even makes me feel OK to be depressed, almost like a reality check on the commonality of the human condition.
