In the spirit of Zager & Evans Hit song, this event is planned to allow SEMAG Geocachers an opportunity to celebrate the date as we most likely will not be here to attend in the actual year!
Town: Hyannis, Ma
Location: Capetown Plaza, Panera Bread: Rain or shine.
Event Info: This Event will be held to celebrate World Smiley Day! share our stories, possibly swap Trackables and talk with nearby Muggles and encourage them to participate in this activity, hobby, compulsion or sport that we call Geocaching! This is a wonderfull opportunity to bring a Muggle friend with you and show them that you are not alone in this compulsive activity called Geo-caching.
Background Information: Zager and Evans was an American rock-pop duo active during the late 1960s and early 1970s, comprising Denny Zager and Rick Evans. They are best known for their 1969 No. 1 hit single "In the year 2525", which earned them one-hit-wonder status.
Written by Evans, "In the Year 2525 (Exordium & Terminus)" warned of the dangers of technology, portraying a future in which the human race was destroyed by its own technological and medical innovations. The last stanzas of the song suggest mankind undergoes a continuing cycle of birth, death, and rebirth.
"In the Year 2525" hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1969, ultimately claiming the top spot for six weeks. It also hit #1 in the UK and #2 in Australia. The song topped the charts during the time of two major events; Apollo 11's lunar landing on July 20, 1969 and Woodstock a month later. The record sold over four million copies by 1970. ]
Participation: No requiremnt to attend throughout the entire time period or feel compelled to purchase any items at the event location, we just want you all to come out and share a memory of this song, or what you think Geocaching will be like in 2525!
We hope to see you come out and create another memorable event.
In the Year 2525 (Exordium & Terminus)
Song by Zager and Evans
Lyrics
In the year 2525, if man is still alive
If woman can survive, they may find
In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lie
Everything you think, do and say
Is in the pill you took today
In the year 4545
You ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes
You won't find a thing to chew
Nobody's gonna look at you
In the year 5555
Your arms hangin' limp at your sides
Your legs got nothin' to do
Some machine's doin' that for you
In the year 6565
You won't need no husband, won't need no wife
You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long glass tube
In the year 7510
If God's a coming, He oughta make it by then
Maybe He'll look around Himself and say
Guess it's time for the judgment day
In the year 8510
God is gonna shake His mighty head
He'll either say I'm pleased where man has been
Or tear it down, and start again
In the year 9595
I'm kinda wonderin' if man is gonna be alive
He's taken everything this old earth can give
And he ain't put back nothing
Now it's been ten thousand years
Man has cried a billion tears
For what, he never knew, now man's reign is through
But through eternal night, the twinkling of starlight
So very far away, maybe it's only yesterday
In the year 2525, if man is still alive
If woman can survive, they may find
