And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone No I'm just tryin' to have me some fun
Prime Prine. I met a man, was a well dressed man. He had a tan from the Yucatan.
I was recently griping to my brother about some athlete's transgression (or actor or politician...insert the scandal of the day). How these people are role models etc, etc, etc. I was on a real rant.
He immediately corrected me...They are not personal role models, nor should they be. And I think he maybe right. One can admire and try to emulate the athletic ability, but any personal morals have to begin at home. And then, young people will experiment. It doesn't mean they will end up living under a bridge.
I don't know if the current crop of athletes are less moral than those of the past. The media wasn't so merciless and everyone didn't walk around with a camera in their pocket.
