“Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues.”
Whether you prefer the original Eddie Cochran version, the classic Live at Leeds from The Who, or even the ear-bleeding crushing power chords of Blue Cheer, Summertime Blues is one of those songs written for August. Driven into numb lethargy by the heat or just tired of work in general, the singer laments his inability to take or catch a break in words and tones any frustrated person can understand. Even insurance folk.
Many is the agency or carrier that may well claim to be as open and energetic as spring, but reality is revealed when e-mail replies are variations of “out of office,” phone calls go directly to voice mail and text messages go unheeded. Intentionally or simply due to lack of energy, these are the dog days of summer.
