Mom and Mama Cass

   Some time back in the 70's, Mama Cass was a guest on one of the talk shows, Mike Douglas maybe, Dinah Shore, I'm not sure which.  Her mother was in the audience, and the host turned to her to ask what she thought of her daughter's liberal and controversial  lifestyle.  Her mother, probably in her 50's, answered that she was fine with it, and only wished that she herself was alive to enjoy it.  I remember thinking it was an odd choice of words, since there Mom was, looking very alive.  I suppose she felt that only the young are capable of really enjoying life.  I understand now more than then.
