When I See An Old Movie, Like From The ’40s Or ’50s Or ’60s, The People Look So Calm. They Don’t Have Smartphones, They’re Not Looking At Computer Screens, They’re Taking Their Time. They’ll Sit In A Chair And Just Stare Off Into Space. I Think Some Day We’ll Find Our Way Back To That Garden Of Eden.
