I know what you mean...either by our own actions, or by those of our fathers or maybe even mothers. I try to listen to this song weekly, usually hear it at some point driving around. If not, I pull it up on youtube. It keeps me grounded.

For me.. I use it to look in the mirror and make sure I'm never too distracted from those that mean the most.

Here's another one that always brings a tear to my eyes (or several).

"And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter,
"And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying."
And he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,
"To live like you were dyin'."
He said "I was finally the husband,
"That most the time I wasn’t.
"And I became a friend a friend would like to have..."

he (Harry Chapin) died way too soon

Let's hope his song influenced him as much as it has others.

Too long, didn't read
that's why we need one-word posts in here. To serve the folks who find "gee, shucks" too complex a statement for comprehension. And why "tldnr" can help improve the flow of information to those who find actual words cumbersome.
the standard award in here for exemplary service in extending the thread is. . . .. drum roll. . . . . your very own page. . . . . . of your choosing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
agreed.
my brother had the good sense to spend his life running around in the redrock and investing in real estate, and can now afford to retreat at his convenience to his little den in his own basement and just watch the Jazz, or whoever is playing somewhere. His resemblance to PKM is understandably confusing, but he is a devoted atheist like One Brow. One Brow is my Straw Man in here for my bro.
for those of you who actually want further information on statements in here you find intriguing, remember Bronco is the champion Understatement Artist. . . .
so filling in with my talents for overstatement of everything. this response should be understood as
"The Very Best", as in beyond the power of words to convey.
I've been wondering why your avatar is a pic of the alleged grease-spot on the railroad. No need though, to imagine I'm any better looking, or smarter. ... , for that matter. . . .. , than the alleged greasespot. Yah gotta remember, that grease-spot just walked in to the radio studio, and off the cuff created "Man of Constant Sorrow", and got the gov re-elected.

Huh?
awesome.
absolutely awesome.
this guy made something good of his 38 years, probably has touched millions of lives with a second thought about priorities.
George Clooney in Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0190590/
one of my favorite movies, in part because of the deadpan humor, the rich lore of the South, and the songs. . . . but mostly because of the wife who was obviously the point of the song "Man of Constant Sorrow".
PKM's avatar is George. . . .. Clooney. Maybe a reference to a poster named "George", or to "St. George", or to the STG gang I suppose, but in the movie the character was the guy who couldn't stop talking, like someone who can't stop posting in here as I see it. . . .
there are further "coincidental" correspondences I can see in this particular comparison, and I suppose I'll be making further comments along our way. . . .
The wife in the movie had been ashamed of her husband, sent to prison for pretending to be a lawyer and representing some poor trusting soul in the courts even though it was quite an enterprising effort for bringing in some bacon and beans for the many children she had, and herself.
So she invented a story that he had been run over by a train, and was no more, . . . . . well, . . . .. than a grease-spot on the railroad track. . . . . . . . and she had at the time found a new suitor with a real job. .. .. lol. . . . . advising a political candidate for the office of the governor. . . . . lol.
news of this new suitor was the instant cause of all the trouble in the movie. . . . .

Oh Brother...that's a stretch!
