“It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson”
Being stupid with your friends can mean so many different things. But it boils down to having that group of people in your life that you can be your stupid self in front of.
Got like zero answers right in a game of heads up? Who cares? You were funny to watch!
Sounded horrendous with your rendition of “More than a Feeling” when you were in Boston? Who cares? You were funny to hear!
Made just a terrible toast at your best friend’s wedding? Wow, that was hilarious! But who cares? You were funny!
Being around your true friends means not having to put out your best self, or give off any extra energy. It’s just an effortless, wonderfully brilliant (stupid) time that we should all cherish.
The melodies of this song are about as comforting as a night hanging with old friends.
