The Number “17″
I’m leaving for England this Saturday. It’s 17 years since I was last there, 17 years since I graduated from the University of East Anglia and left for the States. And the main reason why I’m returning after 17 years also has to do with the number “17″ – to see the singer who is perhaps best known for her Grammy winning song “At 17″ .
Janis Ian.
And for what it’s worth, I was 17 when that song was released in 1975 altho I didn’t know about it till 12 years or so later. Which makes me, I’m not ashamed to admit, 48 this year.
