23 ain't what it used to be

One of the fun things about My Adventures with Superman is that it SEEMS like they've de-aged the core cast, but Clark is 22-23 years old, Jimmy is by implication the same age, and Lois might be a year older.

That's about the same age that Clark and Lois were way back when Superman originally debuted.* (Jimmy, of course, got aged up by about a decade.)

It's just that in 1938, a 22-year-old was assumed to be An Adult With A Real Job that probably didn't require a college degree, and in 2023, a 22-year-old is A Kid Fresh Out of College Working An Unpaid Internship.**

In 1938, a 22-year-old professional would probably have his own shitty-to-modest apartment. In 2023, a 22-year-old intern would have to split a studio apartment and sleep in a bunk bed.

And, yes, it's worth remembering that 1938 was The Great Depression.

*(The early episodes of the radio show regularly refer to Clark as "the young man.")

**(I don't think Perry would expect the Trio to do scutwork around the office for nothing, but those intern slots probably don't get much more than a minimal stipend.)

Bob Dylan - The Times They Are A-Changin' (Official Audio)

"... The line it is drawn The curse it is cast The slow one now Will later be fast As the present now Will later be past The order is rapidly fadin’ And the first one now will later be last For the times they are a-changin’".

I see pictures of the ‘50s, the ‘60s and the ‘70s and I see there was a difference. But I don’t think the human mind can comprehend the past and the future. They are both just illusions that can manipulate you into thinking there’s some kind of change. But after you’ve been around awhile, they both seem unnatural. It seems like we’re going in a straight line, but then you start seeing things that you’ve seen before. Haven’t you experienced that? It seems we’re going around in circles.

There is no such thing as a Holy war, there is no good God that supports war.

"But now we got weapons Of chemical dust If fire them, we're forced to Then fire, them we must One push of the button And a shot the world wide And you never ask questions When God's on your side Through many a dark hour I've been thinkin' about this That Jesus Christ was Betrayed by a kiss But I can't think for you You'll have to decide Whether Judas Iscariot Had God on his side. So now as I'm leavin' I'm weary as Hell The confusion I'm feelin' Ain't no tongue can tell The words fill my head And fall to the floor That if God's on our side He'll stop the next war" - Robert Zimmerman, Robert Dylan, Bob Dylan.

Lecture 19: Bob Dylan pioneered the sound that would later morph into Heartland Rock (and variously referred to as Roots Rock, as well). Here in 1963, a young Dylan performs “North Country Blues,” a song he wrote that year that appeared on his third studio album, The Times They Are a-Changin’ (1964). At this point in his career, Dylan was still a young darling of the left-wing Folk Music scene in America, before he blazed a trail that took him off in other directions. Even after he rejected his folknik elders (except, of course, Woody Guthrie), Dylan’s songs still pulsed with themes about the struggles of ordinary people, and the poor, and men and women living on the fringes of society. His music also contained a uniquely American quality – not always easy to put one’s fingers on (due to complex lyrics), but always rooted in the culture and history of the country.
