Straddling the Generations.

I watched a TV programme earlier – a selection of clips from the archives of a chart music show that was big when I was in my teens. I found my consciousness splitting: one half went off to be a teenager again, re-living the senses, the perceptions, the images, even the smells associated with the teenage me. The other half stood aside and observed with mild amusement. It was like being my own parent and my own child at the same time.
